Suicide

Suicide is a scary word
Often said but never heard
You hear someone say they want to die
You brush it off, thinking its a lie

Then comes that fateful day
When all their problems go away
So many warnings signs that you missed
Couldn't you tell they didn't want to exist

This poem will haunt you with every line
Making you think at every rhyme
Of how you ignored their suicidal cries
Now in a coffin is where their body lies

They ended their life so abrupt
You could have tried to interrupt
Coulda took away the knife
Tell em that theres more to life

Never build them up to knock them down
Dont provoke a smile to make them frown
Just remember that you're wrong
Life really aint that long

Life can end in the blink of an eye
Seeing happy people wanting to die
Dont cut just to get attention
Then say the things that I wont mention

Dont ever try and criticize
Till you see the world through our eyes
Dont say a word until you see
The suicidal boy inside of me

Suicide is not a game
We'll never figure out who to blame
Now take these words and let them sink
Before you talk stop and think

Is this person really okay
Or is it something they just say
With that said i must end this now
Regretfully my final bow

I am fully with Sunset on this one. This poem was really good. I have attempted suicide before, so I know what you mean, feel free to NOISEmail me or IM me at I Erresea Mahtar on AIM.

Well, I would talk to a really go friend about it. Someone you know who will not tell anyone else. And if you think your parents will understand, tell them. Maybe seeing a therapist. Talking can do wonders.

If you want, you can IM me or e-mail me if you want to talk about it.

Thank you Sunset..I've been on youthnoise long enough to know that you give some of the best advice. It also means a lot to me that someone who doesnt even know me cares. I just have alot of problems suicide has been on my mind alot lately to the point where i dont know if ill make it to tommorrow. I may get some help by getting commited to a hospital but i dont know if even that can help. SO got anymore advice?

I would give your poem an 8. This is really good.

About suicide, it really isn't worth it. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The problems will go away. And killing yourself will cause more pain for the people around you.

You can get through the hardships, people love and care for you. You’re also not alone, even though it may feel like it. Think of the goals you want to accomplish, don’t cut your life short.

I’ve lost good friends to suicide, and it honestly wasn’t worth it.
