    Hey, I am a new poster here. I've been told I can describe stuff pretty well, but years passed and my skills have been laying unused. I'd like to change that, so as a beginning. I will be translating three series of poems I wrote in my native language to English. I apologise for any mistakes I may make, I'm kind of out of practice.

    The series previously had no name, but I decided to give it one - The 3 Suicides

    Summary: Three vivid descriptions of tragedies that could have been prevented.
    >I wrote these a few years ago whilst being commited to a mental health institution a few years ago. It might be hard to eroticise, and there is no "plot", just descriptions.

    Suicide #1

    Content Warnings/Tags: Suicide, Workplace Abuse, bodily fluids, workaholism

    Light shines through the window
    Onto a life-less body.

    In his hands, there's a packet of meds.
    More of those,
    Laid, scattered around the room
    At least a dozen,
    Empty.
    His pale skin is covered by dried-out tears
    Slightly closed eyes, as if
    They couldn't see a way out.
    Open mouth, foaming like tears,
    almost completely dried out.

    I estimate -
    Man, pushing 40.
    His suit polished, no stain traces.
    In a small flat,
    No friends nor family.

    Entry in his figures -
    Taxes overdue, fine around a hundred
    Other than that?
    Empty, like a midnight office.

    He worked in a lesser known legal office
    Known for tormening their workers.
    Underpaying them significantly.

    His hair was a mess,
    Unlike his living space.
    Neat and organised, although a bit dusty.

    You could see n his body
    Lots of bruises and scratches,
    Teeth and needle marks.

    Lack of a will, and for that matter
    He wouldn't have had anyone to give anything to.
