Suicide

       Signs of Struggle      Please watch and acknowledge those who could be suffering in silence. Yes, they may say they're fine, but remember every tear they cry is something the heart can not express. Something so deep that you feel like you're in a sink hole that you can't climb out of no matter how how much you struggle to get free. So many feelings and emotions trapped that you're drowning in your own tears and dangerous thoughts. Your so confused all the time that it feels like your in a never-ending maze with no escape. You're in so much pain that a quick gun shot to the head would feel like a breath of relief.  Only 5 pounds it  only takes  five pounds  of pressure to pull a trigger and it's all over.    Five pounds  of pressure to take a life.

       How it Feels to go Through it All             Suicide is a serious subject, so many precious lives have been lost do to suicide. First all y'all need to understand what it feels like being depressed and trapped in your own mind is like for suicidal people. I wrote a poem to try and capture one of the many feelings you feel in depression. It's a mix of three of my poems. Hello, I am trapped I am trying to call out But no-one can hear me. Please don't leave you're my last piece of sanity. I have a simple question,  am I good enough? Do I have what it takes to survive, to thrive? Or am I too broke to fix, Am I a waste of time, breath, space? If not, then why do I feel this way? The   feeling of utter emptiness inside without a clue why? I know I am loved and adored but there is something more. Something too deep down to grab and fix Something we crave but...
