mechanical tears run down
that little dimple in your cheek
as you cry for what has gone
not even gone, but it has maybe
rejected your existence
and you can't take it
My God! you aren't perfect
and you can't take it
but don't grab the rope
the knife, the pills
just yet
go for what you can't have
and fail some more
this is your therapy for real life
now you look down on me because i know your secret
i know the truth about you
your fears
your little locket of demons
self conscienceness isn't the end of the world
just a happy little garden
in the soil of your world
and p.s.
now its ok to grab the rope
the knife, the pills

Welcome to passions.

I completely disagree with the last line of your poem. It's not ok to grab the rope, the knife, the pills! We have a policy of non-glorification of suicide here and though your poem skirts the issue, it still 'suggests' that there is an easy way out.
