dark corner
theres a dark spot
in the corner of my room
it calls to me
with malice
i try to resist
but its pull is to strong
to keep from slashing my wrists
it keeps me in my head
that dark corner
it keeps me in my bed
call the corener
it killed me,im dead
that dark corner in my head,so keep me in that padded room
but you cant stop inevitable doom

Others may chime in, but from my understanding you don't need to post the author's note here. When someone posts in the dark category, it is assumed that they are being dramatic on a certain level, otherwise this site would be filled with murderers and all kinds of horrific individuals. I'm sure some readers do appreciate it though.

I totally understand, and the fact you're concerned enough to do so speaks well of your humanity towards others, a good quality to have, and much in demand these days.
Not to worry about how you use the Author's Note section. Do that which fits you feelings.
Happy writing!

I have written several dark suicidal poems over the past 35 years, but I'm still here... I still get worried when I read poems by others that suggest suicide looms. As long as you express your true feelings in poems, as this one vividly does, your verse will draw in readers. You will always find others who relate, but for that reason, we will naturally become concerned and want to reach out. Sometimes I wonder how I've survived all these years with darkness hovering over my head and the one inevitable answer that always come to me is poetry. Expressing my heart and soul as honestly as I can keeps me from going over the edge...
Keep on expressing!!!

A couple of typos to iron out but they didn't detract from what you were saying. Found it interesting.

I put in my < author notes > something similar to what you wrote after i posted a suicide piece.
I think it's OK, to do so, especially if the feel within the ink is strong.
