Suicide

By AJ

Suicide… I’m going insane.  I can’t control my thinking

I wake up in the middle of the night sweating rivers from crazy dreaming

It’s a problem, a problem dat I cannot take care of at the moment

But it’s been on my mind all day and it won’t go away.

I can’t control it!

Suicide… It’s 1 of many things that comes to your head

Depressed, down, stressed, and sad.  You’re like, “I’m better off Dead.”

NO! Please don’t, it’s really not dat bad. Please don’t slit your vein.

STOP! And think about it, about your loved ones, come on use your brain.

And you’re like, “no” I really have no use here on earth… I’m hopeless

Just please put down the razor, let’s talk…just focus

Have you ever heard the saying coincidence is GOD?

Way to stay anonymous

Well believe it and let the situations play out because it’s up to him

You can’t do nothing about it

Because whatever’s meant to happen, trust me, its gonna happen

So please don’t try to be no superman, batman, or no captain

Just know that with time comes a solution

So if it don’t come out the way you expected

Don’t go looking for retribution.

Clear your mind, get some air… or take a ride

Because it’s really worthless… to commit SUICIDE!

Don’t do IT!

 

 

This poem is for those people who got so many problems going dat they think about committing suicide.  That’s just selfish. What if for example you commit suicide and then your parents do it, then your kids do it, and so one. You can really start a chain reaction.  Understand that what you do affects your loved ones.  People it’s not worth killing yourself about a problem you can’t do nothing about. God is not gonna put nothing on you that you can’t bear. So keep your head up and know that whatever happens happen.  It was a decree from God.  So you can’t change what God has already planned.

    Night Falls Fast : Understanding Suicide, by Kay Redfield Jamison. I would recommend this book for it’s thorough examination of the psychology and consequences of suicide.

    Consequences. I think that’s what you’re really hammering home, and it’s the total truth.
    The pain one can feel to lead them to suicide is heavy, no doubt. But the fact stands that the world will turn without you, and those who know you and love you will have to feel the void you make if you choose to take your own life. It may not change how you feel in the present, but hopefully you’ll press on to another day, another conversation, another chance to learn.
