Suicide ?

We’ll never meet You’re not known to me But I still care Mathematical man me Calculations my game But I’ve had my turn Of tormenting emotional pain Intense and so unbearable Escape seems impossible And Worse at night Similar and almost exact the Unbearable a loud persistent sound Not like TNT an explosive bang Over too soon The impulse would be a mercy gift Linger your patience on An escape possible By science and study A sounds intensity and power varies by The Rule of the Inverse of the Square of the Distance Listen Loud the un-bearable sound is softer Intensity at two miles is a quarter that of one mile Four miles it’s a sixteenth Its maths A little out of fashion in these emotional times Time grants pain a softer edge Endure if you can Maybe a duty to ones self But old memories less hurt We, I don’t want you to go

Try GOD ! He makes life worth living everyone has a story or has been hurt.But he is the only one who takes the edge off take it from someone who has tried everything else.A person who denies and curses GOD is usually a person who wants GOD but does not know how to go about it.And I have met people all over the world to know I am right .The other smaller percentage really just don't want him and that is their choice.

People often tell us to "Do the math," Nigel. Well you have given that concept new meaning. And time does "grant pain a softer edge." People who consider taking their own lives seem to forget that. Thank you for sharing your work! Love, Carolyn
