A semicolon is a piece of punctuation used when an author chooses to continue the sentence even though they could end it with a full stop easily. Therefore, the semicolon is used as a symbol of suicide awareness- the choice to keep writing your life's sentence until it comes to a conclusion. I believe in you no matter what difficulties you're facing. Keep writing your story. It will be worth it; I promise.
IF
I could see myself as I truly am.
what would I see???

Stardust
Metal strings,
triangle pick,
painted board,
mind plays tricks.
Humming noise; the silence clicks.

Dust on frets,
bent-down spine,
aching chords,
blurred by time.
Still, I hum... though not in rhyme.
Jesus wore only a robe.
He did not tell those who gathered
around him how to get rich. He
told them to love one another.

Today, the religions of the world
are of untold wealth. I suggest all sell
their manifold possessions and give all
the proceeds to the poorest of the poor.

Jesus wore only a robe.

monue
I don’t know you, but my soul do —
It flinched when you laughed, like déjà vu.
We haven’t met, but I miss your name,
Like a ghost line in a song’s sweet flame.
I pass by strangers, still half-aware
Of a voice I chase in the midnight air.
What spell is this? What did I do?
To know no name, but still know you.
feels karmic.
