Suicide Note - a Prose -

The razor blade held to his wrist shows pain, mourning, and anything else. You see, he just wants someone to understand him, care for him, and love him as their own. His mother and father argue over the tiniest things. Cut one starts, he doesn't feel the relief yet. Peers and students tease him for being bubbly and happy. But no one has seen this dark and twisted part of his mind. Cut two stings just a bit, a sting from a wasp. His friends don’t care, they have their own mediocre lives to deal with. Cut number three murders the emotional pain. No one cares that he does this. Everyone presses on in their own lives, paying taxes and making love. He grabs his father’s pistol from under his parents’ bed. He writes this letter, and then pulls the trigger.

Wow! I remembered someone special. Someone who did the same thing. Who felt unloved and unworthy. If we still have all the time in the world to share the joy, love and care to others, just do it! Sometimes, people tend to end their lives if they feel worthless and that's a crucial part of human nature. I so love this! Congrats, Christian! More power! Love,love,love! :-) - Den

So sad. Never a good reason for someone to end their life. Things can always change and God always cares, even when circumstances are continually rough and a person doesn't feel his presence. Very emotional read. Congratulations on your win!
