Suicide

Suicide 
A seven letter word
It means die
Everyone has heard at one time 
It ends a life by knife, gun, or rope tied
It’s caused from pain 
Guilt or suffering 
It goes into the brain
And never ends 
You can talk yourself out 
But it doesn’t dismiss 
The thought of your own death 
It’s something no one can resist 
Many die from the hurt 
They end their lives 
Such a complex matter
They cannot end 
They hide 
Unless for a bullet 
A knife put in place 
They get tormented 
Tears hidden by the rain 
People try and try 
To save them again 
But nothing can stop 
The hurt that they feel
Not even for the smallest little pill
The doctors and nurses 
That try and try 
Cannot save them 
For they are no longer alive 
They died years ago 
And lost their souls 
Their path to heaven 
A road they must go alone 
On their way to heaven 
They suddenly learn 
That heaven was around them 
The entire time 
But the devil had their eyes 
Deceived them blindly 
And made then lose view 
Of the loved ones and friends
That they will all lose 
For they weren’t themselves 
They had lost 
Their life to the pain
The hurt and the sorrow 
But they shall not feel 
Pain anymore 
For they have no senses
They are not on earth 
Their bodies below 
And their hearts above 
They belong in the stars 
That’s where they are 
To bless us sweet dreams 
And hide in the clouds 
To watch us from above 
And guide us to 
The right passage ways 
To keep us safe from the devils ways 
They let the thought
Overwhelm their brains
And now they are lost to the sky’s hands 
So when you see rain drops 
Just think they are tears 
Because they can’t help the bullied 
They just end up there 
Their shouts of thunder and lightning flash 
They try to warn them 
Run fast
Think different of suicide 
Think different of pain 
Do us a favor 
Don’t cut your wrist again 
Don’t beat up yourself 
Suicide is the worst you can do
And it’s not the last option 
It’s something you choose
