Killing Yourself

people always think

that life doesnt matter

i have known some people

who have taken there own life

some people tell others

that no one gives a damn

if you kill yourself

but they are only fooling themselves

people that tell you

that you can die

really care about you

but dont want you to know

theyd rather have you gone

and let the world know

but they dont want you to really go

they just tend to test you

to see if youd do it

but then after awhile they will join you too

A courageous subject to undertake

I have often considered suicide but what always stops me is the people who really do care that I would hurt so badly. Fuck the rest. A well written and affective piece, thank you, cheers, Jess wishing you a Salubrious Solstice

A GOOD

effort, as suicide is a,sometimes taboo subject. You have given different aspects of this most delicate subject, which like Jess, I can relate to. Lenny
