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- ________________________ September 8, 2017 Free Verse/Suicide Prevention Copyright Protected, ID 938275 Written for the contest, Suicide Prevention Month sponsor, Laura Loo Second Place
