It’s amazing how you can talk about suicide, Without saying die.

Standing,
Waiting,
Watching,
What lies in the darkness
Miles down.

Weigh
The pros and cons.

Pros:
Solve my problems
End my suffering

Cons:
I lose someone who I don’t want to hurt
I lose my progress
I hurt people
I can’t take it back
I lose my life

Cons win,
Pros lose,
I sob
With the realization
I live another day.

I live this cycle,
Till my pros,
Out weigh,
My cons.

Author's Note

I’m not sure if I’m the only one who feels this.

I'm sure that you are not. I have never felt that way,but I know many who have.
Trust me, my dear, the pros outweigh the cons every time.
No matter how dark it may seem, it will get better. It WILL get better. Who can say what you would miss? You are so young. You have everything--a whole life-- to look forward to love, children, grandchildren--I am looking forward to my first great grandchild!nificent!
Think, my dear one, not only of what you stand to lose, but of those who stand to lose YOU. How hurt they would be; how bereft. Suicide is the easy way out.The coward's way.
To live --THAT takes courage. But the rewards; oh, my dear, the rewards can be mag

Wow, this is heavy, direct, raw and heartfelt, scary and dramatic. So many emotions inside this real poem about darkness and light. And everyone greatest fear of dying and why. Bravo. articulate, clever and so goddam true. We way up, our options even near to death. To reason with ourselves. And to make us feel better if we possibly can do. And save our life. How ironic and so true.

Thanks Dawn!
It's hard to write about subjects like this, and it's hard to get people to understand.
Glad you did.

I have been their myself so many times. So no problem on that one sweetheart. Just express yourself no matter what. And get it out. Like I do. forget what others thing, do what makes you feel better longterm. No one is going to judge you. And if they do. f**k them. They are arseholes. No one is perfect in life. And I mean no one. Do what makes you happy. Excuse the swearing. Dawn.

It's fine Dawn. I'm glad you can relate with one of my poems! (No one can these days)
Enjoy your day!

True. The only problem,
Is some people have two bubbles,
One to be seen by others

that is so true. The fake disguise to fool others.
