Different poems I've wrote at different hard times in my life. These situations will be relatable to you if you've ever had a heartbreak or lost a best friend or just simply felt like you're losing everyone around you and don't know why.. Including yourself. Some may be a bit suicidal, so this is just a warning. Here's a tip on how to write poems, there's no certain way to write a poem. If you're happy, write. If you're sad, write. If you're mad, write. Even if you can't find words to put it in for a poem, write down your feelings. When your creativity shows it's peak, read what you wrote and make it into something incredible. There's no excuse why anyone can't do this. I hope everyone has an amazing life and remember, if you're thinking about committing suicide, I'm here. There's always someone. But if you really think no one cares, come to me. Or just read my poems. I really hope they help and maybe even save lives. I Love you all! I hope you enjoy.

"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1843. It is relayed by an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of his sanity while simultaneously describing a murder he committed. The victim was an old man with a filmy "vulture-eye", as the narrator calls it. The narrator emphasizes the careful calculation of the murder, and he hides the body by dismembering it, and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately, the narrator's feelings of guilt, or a mental disturbance, result in him hearing a thumping sound, which he interprets as the dead man's beating heart. Cover by the lovely @FayLane.
