"Rising from Darkness: A Poem on the Prevention of Suicidal Thoughts"





When darkness falls, and hope seems lost
And suicidal thoughts creep in at any cost
Remember, there is a way out of the pain
Prevention is key, and help is there to gain.


Talk to someone, a friend or therapist
Express your feelings, let them assist
They'll listen and help guide you through
To a brighter path, and a life anew.


Take time for self-care, and do what you love
Find joy and peace, like a hand in a glove
Explore your passions, and new things too
And know that life can be beautiful, for you.


Surround yourself with supportive friends
Who lift you up, and help make amends

And when the clouds gather, and darkness falls
Know that you're not alone, you can make the calls.


Prevention of suicidal thoughts is a call to action
To care for oneself, with love and compassion
It takes courage and strength to reach out
But the reward is a life, that's full and without doubt.

Unbreakable: A Love Letter to Black Women (Black History Month Poem)

Image
You are the rhythm, the drum, the dawn’s first light, The whispered strength in the dead of night. Daughter of kings, mother of worlds, A crown of fire, your spirit unfurled. They tried to bend you, but you would not break, Turned chains into gold, turned pain into wake. Your laughter is thunder, your tears holy rain, You rise from the ashes, again and again. You built nations with hands kissed by scars, Lit up the sky and reached for the stars. They wrote you out, but you carved your name, A legacy burning, an unyielding flame. Sister, warrior, healer, queen, The world dims when you are unseen. But you—oh, you—refuse to fade, A masterpiece that God has made. So stand, Black woman, with your head held high, You are the dream they could not deny. Bold, unshaken, fierce, and free— The very essence of history.
