Commited

Why do some people commit suicide? When is enough enough What makes them decide To finish living Before the end of their ride Why do they want to come to an abrupt end Nobody knows what's around the bend Perhaps they are under too much stress Have feelings of uselessness That makes them depressed Despair engulfs They feel out of breath The only way out for their peace of mind To these people is death At our Grandson's school A girl took her own life She had a close family And an excellent IQ What was the reason I haven't a clue Maybe excess when everything's too much Overload of everything Looking around for a crutch Something to lean on If only for a spell Pause, take time out And hopefully, all will be well People who are high achievers Need to rest their brain Cramming too much information Can explode causing pain Pain causes stress in everyone Not just the elite Nobody's life journey Is perfect and complete It is tragic when one so young feels lost To give everything away Without counting the cost Not to just themselves but Everyone that knew and loved her With all their heart Their despair and sadness Now tearing them apart Like everyone living I don't know what this means Is the explanation Something in our genes

Some people don't know how to use this wonderful machine and the human life.. When their self starts to fight against themselves they are in peril.. Good write Shirley..

Thank you for your understanding comments Life is too precious to throw away very sad that anyone feels the need to do this especially one so young. Leaving so much grief for others to bear.
