Suicide

Unsure of there feelings
Lost in their soul 
But pain they won't admit

The silent, and the unspoken
Feeling helpless
Suicide they will commit

How do I know this?
Why do I care?
What happens to them

Because I am one also
Experencing the pain
Suffering, and being condemned

Hi Jessica, I also understand this poem very much. Don't entertain the thoughts. Help is available. So, remember that option. And when you are feeling deep dispair, call the suicide hotline. 1-800-273-8255. Believe me, after God, and after making that helpful call, the writing is the biggest relief of all. God bless you, my friend. Let God have those feelings of condemnation. He can uplift you. Let Him. Lovingly, Dane
