Suicide or Murder???

The biggest disease known to mankind is loneliness....It kills...

                              

How are you dear? ...I'm great...
And that's it no one thinks about it any further.
No one sees the pain behind the mask

She is not fine, not even okay...
She is suffering...
She is frustrated...

Her life is half damaged
And half is on the way for ruin...

She is the murderer, & she is the victim
She is killing herself....

Is anybody there to feel her pain??
Can u hear me?
I'm your mind....

Counting her breathe, she takes the pills
Knowing she will be dead today or tomorrow..

She is addicted to drugs, she is spoiled..
And thus,.....she is avoided!!

But did anybody try to know the reason?
Why is she abnormal?
Why does she loves to stay alone?
Have you ever wondered?

Friends who can only betray
A family where she has no place to stay...
Just a girl whom everyone avoids...

What else can you expect from her?
This was meant to be like this, right??

This strange behavior definitely has a reason
This loneliness shouldn't be the topic of criticism...

she needs you, but you don't really care...
She shouts out loud, but you don't even stare...

Soon, she will be dead...
Maybe by hanging on the fan
Or by injecting a tough poison
Or maybe by jumping from the high
Or, drowning in the sea....

And then,
headlines in the newspaper with bold letters of another suicide case
She's dead, she's gone...

Maybe two or three teardrops from her mother's eyes,...
That's it, no one really cares..

Knowing her story, some becomes a bit sad
and the rest talks ill of her character....

They says, suicide is heinous....
But was it truly a suicide???
Or,............................

this is a very thought-provoking poem -- what causes death, whether it is the loneliness caused by the society that is the murderer rather than the victim itself.. beautifully penned poem, and i do agree, it seems like suicide is not just suicide. after all, there is a silent killer behind the victim's own hands.

again, brilliant read c:

Thank you so much......I'm glad u liked it and understood what I really meant..

[hannah]

you're very welcome :) i look forward to reading more of your work.

[kassystiletto-mermalien]

Really appreciated that the main point here wasn't about the death itself, but more towards what causes it. Good job :)

Thank you so much....I'm glad u liked it.. :)

It is very true Annabelle. Not many people realize that it is the society is the main culprit. When a person is left aside even if he or she need the attention the most, he or she is left with no choice but to walk a path of loneliness. This leads to chronic depression and ultimately suicide. If that not murder then what is?
Well written Anna like some more of this kind of poems.

Loneliness is a potent and silent killer...yes...courageous poem. Not many people listen to truly listen to someone, they ask and walk away...sadly...a powerful reminder of that here...what are we if we cannot pause and ask someone if they are ok and truly mean it...I do hope you are ok...thank you for a poignant piece of writing xo

[Tasfia Islam]

I'm glad u liked it....

This is such an emotional poem. It really pulls at the heart strings. My only question is, is this her point of view or the view from an omniscient narrator? If it is from her point of view, this poem is amazing, but if it is from a narrator, there is the question of how biased the view is. Every person has at least someone who care about them, so the line that "no one really cares" is a bit untrue. But this poem is amazing and I love it :)

[Tasfia Islam]

Thank you... :) And, its from her point of view but narrated by someone else, that's me....

[Tasfia Islam]

Thank you dream... :) Nice name... :) And u r welcome...

[Pushkar Prabhat]

this is sad.........but quite contrary to my belief.
the only one that should care about me is i, no one else.
and here even she doesn't care about herself and gets addicted to drugs, only to meet the inevitable end.

:)

[Tasfia Islam]

That's the thing. The reason that didn't cared of herself is the main fact of the poem....

[Kenneth Nicholas Lowe]

Although i disagree on the impact of loneliness and i have not yet attempted a poem without rhyme...This poem was that good, i'm tempted to try this form myself...Good writ....
