Suicide is not loud.It does not scream look at me! Here I am!
Help!
Suicide is quiet
It tiptoes around the world
It finds those in despair
And says, “Come with me child, I will make it all okay.”
And we listen
We listen because the pain has become unbearable and there is no where left to run
We listen because suicide is quiet and gentle, with promises of peace.
And that is what we need
Our minds are loud, so very loud, going round and round, screaming, berating, abusing, never stopping
suicide caresses us with its promises
Our minds believe
You shouldn’t be alive.
worthless. Useless. burden.
Ugly. Stupid. failure.
Louder and louder and louder
Cruel. Torturous. Abuse.
We listen.
It will never stop
We know
Suicide will save us
Make it all go away
Suicide is peace.
