So sad, but yet so true how some choose this road. I completely agree it is all about control.
(my opionion) Some think they are taking control of their life when doing this, but actually its the opposite, they are letting what or whom ever take control.
Strong and powerful title.
Sad but true...life for some is completely out of control and in some way they feel that this is the best way to regain some sense of "control", dignity, one last motion in this world of constant movement.
A Great poem! Its right, about the whole control thing. Sometimes people are just too depressed to think clearly. The loneliness of this poem really hits me, many people leave under loneliness, and some of them cant handle it... But i believe light shall shine again!

Wow this a poem that really hits you in the face at the end. You have done a great job of getting out those emotions that people feel during a period like that.
This strikes so deep into the self.. the sense of loneliness that in the end one can feel completely isolated.. That's how i lived for so many years... Too many let go far too soon.
I think it's about the most viable escape route for the most inescapable of problems and fixed sadness. I've contemplated suicide for more and less things than school children do because they got bullied at school, but I've always had hope that my life would one day get better at some point. Not everyone is lucky to have the good upbringing.
Giving up is o so easy, and the song goes, the game of life is hard to play you're gonna lose it any way.
But those words are not true, there is a way to win.
I lost my elder brother this way he was 33 years of age when he threw his life away, and over a woman, selfish is what he was!
