Reasons Why

I was talking to a froend and she told me one of the things she was thinking so I wrote this poem to put her thoughts into simpler words.

Reasons Why

 

Today I wanted to kill myself

But didn’t have the guts

Today I wanted to kill myself

But the knife wasn’t enough

Today I wanted to kill myself

But the pills wouldn’t do

Today I wanted to kill myself

But starvation is too cruel

Today I wanted to kill myself

But alcohol takes too long

Today I wanted to kill myself

But instead I wrote a song

Today I wanted to kill myself

I just couldn’t wait

Today I decided to kill myself

I’m now a hollow shell left to wait

Today my soul died

I decided to lie

Today I going through life

Without the person I was inside

Today I cried to myself

And let go

The saddest part is

My friends and family don’t know

Yes, a lot of us go through this sort of thing. Life can be hard with few caring people in it. One has to hope they have enough good times to counter balance the bad times. Some people don't make it through this dark haunting and painful journey, some do with scars for having tried and to suicide and some end up healed and all better, my hope for those who experience the suicide trap.
