Suicide Not The Way

Reading poems About suicide and the want to kill The thought really Gives me an awful chill There are so many things In our lives that seem so bad We need to live another day To seek better then what we had For those of you Who feel down and hate to go to school You shouldn’t worry About the bullies who think they’re cool I remember My teen years in school I felt suicidal And used writing as a tool It is a way of feeling And reaching out to others Even with a dreadful spirit And your breath it smothers At that point We have no idea of our fate We just stumble around Thinking of reasons to hate The thoughts so often Enter our mind To erase our self Leaving a body for someone else to find Yes I too felt worthless That there were no reasons for me to live Because others made me feel bad And that I had nothing to give For some reason I never took my life away Thank God for the strength To live another day Years have passed I am still alive and doing well I am still her With many stories to tell I am married And have children in my life Often thinking of when I was a teen And couldn’t take the strife Once you perform That terrible suicidal act You’re gone for ever And that is a fact Never being able To change how you feel To make your life better Even when crying at someone else’s heel Never ever have any shame of who you are And what ever you do Don’t keep your feelings Bottled in a jar Reach out To a stranger or a friend Just one last thing Please don’t let your life end Copyright © Waynster ...
