Success Is

• Artist: BellaXEdward_forever
• Description: I wrote this for Creative Writing class. Our assignment was to write a poem using one of the following titles: Death Is, Love Is, Patience Is, Anger Is, Loneliness Is, Failure Is, Success Is, Peace Is. I originally wrote a version of this as "Love Is", then decided "Success Is" was better because the way most people would describe success is extremely different to how I described it. I just had to change it a little.

Success is
salty tears and
bloody saliva
in your mouth as
you attempt
to ease the pain just
a little.

Success is
the bile
in your throat;
you’re so upset, that
you threw up.
It’s too much
to take.

You put
your arms
around yourself
to keep yourself together.
To keep
from falling
apart.

Success is
red puffy eyes
on a face
forming a
silent
scream
of excruciating pain.

Success is
the sound of
memories playing
in your head,
haunting you
with the echoes
of happiness.

Success is
all these things
BECAUSE
the one you love
SUCCESSFULLY
Committed
Suicide.
