Questions Unanswered

Lightning flashes and the rain falls as the storm rages on tonight, the family is so worried about you and wanting to know you're alright. Late, last Sunday afternoon you tried to take your own life, twice with the same medication that was supposed to end your strife. You were taken away and we don't even know where you are right now, but everyone is just hoping that you can comeback somehow. What ever happened to you, that caring person you once were, who could always make me laugh oh, how I do remember her. You took care of me when I needed someone to be there, so many good memories flash back of the fun times we would share. We are all still wondering why you are suffering in depression, and how could you ever hurt us with such unexpected aggression. You left your teenage son alone in a state of panic and fear, now we can only wish and wait for some kind of real cure. I wrote this after my aunt tried to commit suicide last Sunday, June 15th. Thankfully, she was not successful. She has been struggling with depression for about 10 years and this is the worst state that we've ever seen her in. Our family and the doctors keep trying to help her, but nothing has worked yet. So, we will have to wait and see where things go from here, as we still have no word on her current condition. We are not a religious family, but it might help if you could send out your positive thoughts, and maybe keep us in your prayers during this difficult and confusing time.

Oh, wow ! This definitely struck a chord. My baby sis attempted the same about thirty years ago. You do have my prayers. Kelly, for what they're worth. There's no getting over such a tragedy.

This piece really hit home for me, SP. I tried to kill myself 7 years ago with an overdose of barbiturates. Thanks for sharing this powerful poem <3

You're welcome, BP. Thank you so much for commenting on this poem. I had thoughts of suicide when I was a teenager, but I never attempted it. I'm just thankful that neither one of us, or my aunt, were successful. My family and I are moving forward now. Though it is still a shock that this even happened. We never saw it coming.

Kelly; This is sad. It brings back memories. I tried to do that once when I was very young. I tried to jump from a second story window. If I had - I would not have the family I have today. I will pray for her. Prayer has a lot of power. Many blessings.... Lucilla

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers, Lucilla.... When I was a teenager, I had thoughts of suicide, but I never attempted it. I think poetry is what saved my life, because it was the one thing that allowed me to express my feelings, and it has lead to better things for me.

Oh Kelly this is terrible, I do hope your Aunt recovers, depression is a shocking thing, I was depressed for a while when Pete walked out on me but never at the point of killing myself, please tell her we are all thinking of her and be positive my dear, love to her and you Take care............Vera..................
