Suicide Suicide
I went to watch the movie Exodus: Gods and Kings
I cried a lot afterwards
It's not the fact that I personally felt the two "brothers" were more abnormally closer in the movie than how the story of Moses is depicted in the bible,
It's the fact of the dedication
The dedication: in memory of Tony Scott
To me, suicide feels as if someone is removing my heart from my chest and using it as a punch bag
It affects me so much
Whether it's committed by someone known or someone unknown
I actually haven't had anyone close to me die that way
But I've had close ones that have almost gone that deep due to depression
Like my brother who has mental illness
I've made it my duty to always check on him and make sure he is happy
To support him where I can
Because I can't imagine!
Or me, one time, a very long time ago
The night after I watched that movie I went home feeling sad
I googled more about Tony and became even sadder
In my Google research of famous people who have died of suicide, Robin Williams being the top of the list, I accidentally run into
Sylvia Plath effect
From there my sadness went deeper into abyss
It moved faster than a rocket
It took me almost a week to recover
I wanted to stop writing
I didn't want to die writing poetry
It's been months now since I watched the movie
Since my sadness...
And I've written more poems, because I need this therapy in my life
