When the time came I started to cry,
As a word was whispered, 'suicide',
Not the answer... not the way out,
I could do nothing but scream and shout,
"Which way to turn,
To live or die,
Where can I hide,
I wish not to face another day"

So now I lay down and pray my first pray,
As I begin to shutter,
I utter, 'good bye',
Good-bye, mom
Good-bye dawn,
I just couldn't figure out the things in my head,

I will not miss the human race,
To the cops this will be, just another case,
And I will be a forgoten face,
So long world,
I am now free to be whatever I wish to be,

But now I see their crying faces,
I have made a grave mistake,
That has changed eveyones fate,
"Why did I do it?" I ask myself,
How can I cause them such great pain?

I am lucky as you see,
The sleep did not over power me!

wow - extremely well written and glad you made it back!

Thank you

Not really about me ... It is about friends of mine who did and didnt go through with it.


I personally view suicide as a weakness.

Has no substance

I don’t mind criticism but how about elaborating.

have a

You're full of crap, Pal

Sounds like highlowtrade has no life besides going to online forums to put people down... so 8th grade.

very well written.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a sign of weakness... But this was well written. I just don't exactly agree that suicide is selfish and what not.

as far as suicide goes its not the best way out i know this for a fact..

death is easy life is hard.

Good write


At one time I also viewed suicide as a weakness and had no pity for them. Until................. it hit close to home too close my son then I woke up to life. I no longer do I see it as a weakness but as a cry out for help a lost soul.

I was lucky I was at the right place at the right time and was able to prevent my son from carring through with his actions. That was 5 years ago he is healty happy and looks at life in a different way.

I agree.... When I said weakness I mean that I see it as the difference between taking the stairs or the escalator. So maybe weakness is the wrong word.

also thank you everyone for the complements and support...
