Excellence Award in the 'The Text Generation 2014' competition

Daring to jump off all these fake bridges,
Covered in red with terror in bloodless veins.
Kings for a day dangling from ridges,
Imagining paranoia and pains.

Dying with beautiful stars in flames,
Screaming through cemeteries in the dark.
Killing everything by nights are our aims,
Whilst crying underwater in the park.

My mind is tortured in recovery,
When scratching against antics in my head.
The constant need is a discovery,
Tangled in great escapes when tears were shed.

Sitting up high as suns went down below,
As her pleads lead to holding on till may.
Asking how our love would end up to go,
Ends up being ‘Darling you’ll be okay”.
