Challenge
We lost a lot with the passing of Chris Cornell. To many, he was a mentor, a brilliant writer; an inimitable voice. Until June 30th, this challenge is for the friends and fans to write their stories, poems, tributes: anything about him. We will be putting together a book for the Cornell family, of the posts entered, as well as making copies available for purchase, donating all proceeds to suicide prevention. In partnership with Seattle Refined, the most shared post will be read on air, and posted on seattlerefined.com.

blue lips.
suicide is supposed to be a
("private") affair
but i cant help but think about
the lives that were lost
to internal pain
doesnt matter if you don't know the guy
i didn't and yet here i am
empathizing with that pain
because i was there once
in that same circumstance
juggling the ("dos") and ("donts")
(it hurts more than you think)
(the constant fear of betraying yourself)
all i can say really
try not to do things that you know will hurt later
think about the people in your corner
and if you dont have anyone
think about the people that could be
somehow
some way.
