Ok...this is one of my anti-suicidal poems...one of few...so please don't take it off...


Show me the way to die

Take some pills
I’ll get ill
Overdose
Is that the way out?

Slit my wrists
Go into the abyss
Bleed
Was there any doubt?

Jump off a building
I am willing
Fall
Is that how I’ll end it all?

Take a gun
Then I’ll be done
Shot
What problem did it solve?

Get some rope
I cannot cope
Hang
Is that the way I’ll die?

Maybe I’ll live
Do I have more to give?
Life
Will I still cry?

Well I won't take it off hon.  It shows clear enough that no form of suicide is the answer.  Good work and good thinking

good message. why sacrifice your life, there may be wonderful things ahead, besides its a selfish act. think of the impact it has on those that love you. who knows, by suicide, you may have let someone else die in the future, because it may be you that would have saved them. sort of like...it's a wonderful life. and it usually is. nice turn around at the end.
