Suicide

A Poem by Jock Engelman

There is a theory that people insist 
has to be right and has to be this 
people choose when they die  
how they die and their friends ask why 
well I am here to tell you the truth  
its not all bridges rope and a noose 
peoples emotions build up inside  
’til it gets too full and they cry and cry 
their minds tell them the opposite of reality 
which just turns out to be a fallacy 
the force it turns out is greater than gravity  
which pulls them into a state of self pity 
the captured person would plan it out  
how they’ll die they’d scream and shout 
So now I plead don’t be mislead  
just bear this statement in mind instead 
Suicide is not chosen it happens when pain 
exceeds the resources for coping with pain  
and I hope making this poem wasn’t in vain
