"There is only one thing worse than being hard to love. And that's knowing it." Jesus Christ... the ultimate confession and being self-aware while being on the edge of doing such a horrible act is perhaps on of the only ways we'll ever truly see our true-selves in the mirror. This one actually hit something in me. Thank you for sharing.

It’s somewhat of a play on words. 6 feet under means buried in a grave. Someone hurt me so bad that i sunk so low that im into a grave.


And thank you so much :)

Ook that's why. Actually in our culture they burn the dead so it didn't cross my mind first.

Lately the posts in this sub have been extremely relatable, this one breaks the bar. Never have I been so called out. Wonderful flow and captured the feelings precisely. Is their any significance of "6" feet under? Was just curious.

Yes i am good :) poetry helps me cope! :)

yo, you good bro? It's like you're trying to perfect a suicide note but in your mind, it's healthy, which it could be. But again even bringing that subject upon oneself could lead to drastic decision's. But good wordplay, "six feet under" makes you stop and think truly about what you are saying,

‘One worse thing than being to hard to love. And that’s knowing it.’ 

This line hits hard..

I agree! I totally agree with you. Thank you for being so vulnerable :)

Thank you so much :) I’ve been working hard at turning vulnerability into a power for me! I think someone has to do it if it means other people feel less alone like the writers i love make me feel less alone.

Hello! This is an incredibly relatable piece. I feel this is the sort of work that takes an incredible amount of vulnerability to put out into the world. Does it make you feel good that so many can relate to this? Like is it a sense of comfort? 

I loved it!

Thank you! I am actually doing honestly the best I’ve been in a long while and poetry has been such a huge outlet so the comments I’ve gotten really inspire me to keep going

Loved the poem, specially the first note. Hope you are doing well, keep at it with poetry you are definitely doing amazing.

The mixture between dark and emotional always bring life to art and make it more beautiful and meaningful, as a person who finds a haven in writing about suicide, I loved what you wrote.

This is one of the best ones yet. I love the way the framing and how the words are played up with for a masterpiece. Keep it up

Thank you for sharing these very raw and relatable words . Such an excellent description that easily brought emotion through me. I hope you're doing well, always here for a chat. ❤️

I write suicide notes not to die but to finally confess

Like this: there is only one thing worse than being hard to love. And that’s knowing it.

And this: I try so hard to sink into the absence you left me with in order to not feel so goddamn empty but i sunk and sunk and now

Look where i am: six feet under.
