Suicide

The subject matter itself is very gut wrenching for me. Hurts just to see the word. I always try to tell people, that by ending it all, they are robbing themselves of a better life. You are robbing yourself of the opportunity to have a better life. You are only taking yourself out of the equation, without the right mindset to think of the effect your death will have on others.The people you love. The people who love you.

Suicide 

by C.L. Miller

The word itself,

causes me great anguish. 

You see,

I've been where you are.

Grasping for a way,

to end the misery.

To take away

the pain and suffering.

Selfishly thinking

of only myself

Not thinking about

anyone else.

Not caring

the devastation

I'd be leaving behind.

Thankfully

that didn't happen.

I lived.

I almost robbed myself

of a better life.

Nothing ever

would have gotten better

ending it that way.

In the wrong state of mind

I hadn't realized

No one is ever

truly alone.

We only feel that way.

And as we all know,

feelings change.
