You know? I've often wondered-
When I hear of suicide.
What was the person thinking,
Just before they died?

What solace were they seeking?
What comfort did they find?
These are the type of questions-
That clutter up my mind.

Were they fleeing from some heartache?
Or depressed by failing health?
Or an issue far more common-
Like dissipating wealth?

Was it a case of mental illness?
Or the despair of waxing age?
Or frustration of the lack of mark
They've left upon life's page?

Whatever brought them to that spot-
I greatly fear they found...
No comfort in the state called death,
Nor rest beneath the ground.
