Suicide Prevention
I was-
suicidal when my baby died-
possessed with death
when my love left
a name engraved buried deep
and went into a dark pit
running from life happiness was gone
self-murder
thoughts filled my days
I was locked in what was and not reality
the devil
whispered wicked plots in my head
diabolic hellish hari-kiri plans
then God spoke and calmed my soul
so I crawled
into the light embraced the world again
and vowed to help those lost as I was-
with no path but death in their future
I am a listener giver of hope a friend
when they are full of nothingness-
