my girlfriend's roomate
tried
just this morning to commit
suicide
It just brought
about
feelings I've been trying to hide
life can get tough
sorry if this isn't in poetic
form
i just feel like my life's been tattered and
torn
i'm not going to take it as far as she did
i've gotten the help
help i needed
but i don't feel i'm better off
my brains swelling and soon it will fall
off

I hope your doing okay now. I've been there myself. It helps to talk openly about it. It's not safe to keep it all inside.

A very sad experience indeed, and anyone exposed to this should get the proper support they need to deal with it at their pace.  I sincerely hope she talks out her feelings with a qualified professional, and wish you both luck in coping.

I've had two in my family...mother, then brother. It's hard....very hard, even twenty some years later.
