He was just 17 years old, a year for every second it took his life to end. He wanted love,or even just a good friend. Just another bullet, just 50 cents a round, when it left the chamber, it put his body in the ground. It's to late now, his ears unable to hear. His eye's unable to see the pain of his family. A heart that no longer beats it's tune. Lungs that no longer breathe the sweet breath of life. A family standing at his side. Tears are falling like rain, they can't hide. all it cost him to die was 50 cents. It costed his family, a life sadness, and regrets. 35 cents a cost of one call may have save him Drowning in a pool of unhappiness, he could not swim. Answers they will never know, he died at the age of 17, never more will he grow. Suicide is a horrible thing, it ruins lives, it breaks hearts. no second chances, no fresh starts.

Ex-Terminator - The title certainly grabbed my attention. Then the line that jumped out at me: 'Drowning in a pool of unhappiness, he could not swim.' *I sure hope we can all recognize the symptoms of potential suicide and throw the life-line to non-swimmers before it's too late. Thanks for the message. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This reminds me of a quote I once heard that stopped me from committing suicide. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. ------------------ Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

This is so sad. I think everyone needs to tune into those who are so unhappy and think that there's no other way. Thanks for the reminder. |

My point exactly, they also need guidence, and a helpful hand who isn't afraid to get involved, there are hotline, and hospitals everywhere to help these people that are afflicted, with these problems, there are doctors, and councselors that can help, WE just need to get INVOLVED!!!  |
