Suicide is not a solution

To discourage whomsoever it may concern from suicidal attempts.

When life
seems all hopeless
still don't you loose
all scope of hope
for there's
this thing
dangling
in the air,
Reach out
for God's sturdy rope.

For how
sure can
you be
that
death will
take you
to a better fate
What if
you are
plunged
into a
plight
much
worse where there's no turning
back at any rate!

In times of trials and tribulations invoke Him
Or your chances of contentment remain slim

You too haven't been infallible and above all blame,
that you wish for a perfect rosy life
The excuses for suicide are usually so lame,
Better enjoy your share even so in strife.

Donot
friend, plan to commit this act
just to invoke another's pity and regret.
The pity and regret will come and go
Besides it soothes no decomposed,
and a large slice of your life
May lie in waste, your soul disposed

Why rush for thy grave,
It may further gloom.
Suicide's ain't a way out
fellow human friend.
Pray a godless way ,not send
you unto this doom.
You haven't right to bring
any life to its end.

And it's probable that all
those years
that you now wish to recklessly
discard in dust
have something bright ahead,
got to be a ray of
hope
Extinguish it not if in God
you trust!

Suicide's a cop out,Solution? Not at all!
In using it, you're liable to miss some vital call.
I couldn't bear to do it, for fear that I would miss
The sweetest dream, the finest book, the most beguiling kiss.
The best sunset, the sweet caress from someone who could be
My own true love. The warmest smile, someone who'd treasure me.
The brightest day, the deepest night, just anything like this...
To kill myself? I couldn't bear the things that I would miss.

Warm thanks, that's the spirit, there's a lot we would miss on nice things if we committed suicide, wish everyone is inspired to think this way. Life is no bed of roses only, we need to veer our way through the thorns too. Take care.

I agree with you about the suicide,suicide is not only a sin when you commit.If may take your chance to live in this beautiful world,even though life sometimes seems unfair but god gave us the opportunity to live our life to the fullest and we need to face those trials or problems even though sometimes it is hard to cope and to be happy.Though not all happening in our lives is easy to understand but it is better to face it and do something than wishing to end your life cause problems are still there even when you decided to end your life.sorry for my grammar

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

My warm thanx for your great religious thoughts on this and your motivating logic against suicide. Take care sister.

'Suicide is not a solution'
S.zaynab.kamoonpury,
Yes in this life with so may seasons and 'tribulations' nothing is certain except that their will be a blend, a mix of good and bad. Different for everyone of course. Life can be awful and past understanding.I can empathize with those that just want to give up, but......what about the next moment, the next effort to grow, learn and overcome. Time does pass and with it opportunity to be and make circumstances and choices for the better. Loved your poem but we need to remember that life when full of pain can be so difficult for many.As the saying goes...there, but for the grace of God go I.
Blessings,
Kathy

Warm thanx for your thoughtful thoughts on this. I like to remind that this poem is exactly how I would respond in gentle but firm rebuke if my child ever showed suicidal inclinations, so it is all in motherly good faith in full understanding of the pain that we humans can have. It's also a clear hint to connect with God who prevents many from suicide you see. I know there were points in time I myself would have felt suicidal if I had no one like Gid to pray to.
Take care and warm wishes.

I love how you choose to write about something so prevalent happening all over the world today. I'm sure this poem touched someone in a remarkable way. I couldn't agree with you more. Very nicely written

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

It's a really wonderful work of yours, smearing its essence all over the site. Life is a gift of the Almighty and to live it is our duty. Your work is so deep that it can move many who intend to commit suicide. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful work!

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Thanx young poet.

[Raj Sahu]

Welcome again!

I think is good you make poem about this subject. Cause we need to more talk about it. Your poem is quiet creative words match together very well. I am sure you have good intentions to write this . What I see problem you speak about God like on,your one who can help. I don't think that will be work for anyone . Not everybody believe it in god and not even eryone think God is here to help. I often hear saying, I believe in god but I don't understant him etc Albert Camus once wrote suicidal is unlogical . I think all aspect of life don't have logic we mostly behave with no logic . That why we maybe sometimes decide to kill our self. I think it will be good if you explore more why people make suicide and what can make them stop. Bu that's just my opinion . Maybe you are right and I am completely wrong. I am usually honest at my reviews . I hope this will helps. But I think otherwise this poem is written in very beautiful language.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Warm thanx for your comment. Let me explain dear. I tell u dear Fid works for everyone, the one true God. This poem is actually to encourage people to believe in God ESP if they are depressed and suicidal. So it's to make more people realise that Gid can help, that He is there and He is the best solace and comfort. Religion and belief can really stop and prevent suicide, my mom treated someone 's depression making them call and pray to God, without meds.
You are right many don't like to use logic. Sometimes folks want to commit suicide due to breakups but they don't realise that fornication and premarital promiscuity causes it. So if they heeded God He has best advices and solutions for life.
Loving best wishes and take care,.

Hi first sorry about misunderstanding of your poem. Now I can see poem in diffirent a light. I think every person start believe in god from diffirent reasons. Some belive cause they have troubles , some belive cause they felt enormous joy. And some will never believe fuse they don't simple agree with conception of god. And I think that's fine too. Ways forward to god are very mysterious like e ery human life. M personal believe I god. Is not on base of religion or dogma what was create thousands years ago. I more belive like in wise friend who always give me hint where to go. Thanks for good response on my comment.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Yes you have given observant reasons for believing in God. Yes yes u put it very nicely, God is the wisest friend indeed. Warm regards.

[barleygirl]

I agree with everything you're saying here & you've written this in an interesting & compelling way. Your message feels like a kick in the butt, which is not my preferred way of dealing with someone who is depressed. Having a long history of suicidal depression myself, plus answering a suicide hotline for years, I can say (in my experience) it's best to meet a depressed person where they are at that moment -- NOT trying to push them out of their pain by pointing out how dumb they are -- talking down (lecturing) to a depressed person just reinforces how stupid they already feel. I know you have good intentions & you are trying to be uplifting, but I'm afraid this feels condescending to me. Your writing style is very good, tho, & I'm interested to read more of your stuff (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hi dear, u see I'm rebuking just like a mother would to her suicidal child, in a light , gentle way that would distract them from it making the act seem silly and futile. And as u will see jenel Jackson type responses below it show it helped them like I intended. I'm trying to psychologically discourage suicide. I'm real sory to hear it hit home and u had depression, but I do hope my words can make u feel the well wisher love and support I feel for u, never thinking any suicidal as dumb but rather letting themselves too overwhelmed by emotion and disregarding God.
Take care pal, warm wishes.

[Jade Stone]

Thank you, I don't know why but I feel like I needed this.

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Oh dear don't say that, don't ever tink death is the only solution, we can always look for happiness even if forever and after death it will be another life. Take care.

[Jade Stone]

Thank you I appreciate your kind words.
