Planning Suicide

planning suicide
feeling as an outcast does
giving away toys

no one suspects him
feeling of euphoria
joyful decision

funeral is sombre
signs were there but no one saw
per his careful plan

did not know they said
never suspected a thing
sorry reflection

A terrible thing, I worked with someone who took his own life yet he never showed any outward signs, probably thought it was a sign of weakness to seek help. Such a tragedy. Tom

It is horrible; this was written about a family member who worked every day for eight hours with my mother and did not give any clues at all, which tore her up.
