Suicide's No Way Out

When life 
seems all 
hopeless
still don't 
you loose 
all 
scope of 
hope
for there's 
this thing 
dangling 
in the air
Reach out 
for God's 
sturdy 
rope.

For how 
sure can 
you be 
that
death will 
take you 
to a 
better fate
What if 
you are 
plunged 
into a 
plight 
much 
worse
where 
there's no 
turning 
back at 
any rate!

You too 
haven't 
been 
infallible 
and above 
all 
blame
that you 
wish for a 
perfect 
rosy life
The 
excuses 
for suicide 
are usually 
so lame
better 
enjoy your 
share 
even so in 
strife.

Donot 
friend, 
plan to 
commit 
this act
just to 
invoke 
another's 
pity and 
regret
The pity 
and regret 
will 
come and 
go
besides it 
soothes 
no 
decomposed
and a large 
slice of 
your life 
may go 
wasted.

Why rush for thy grave, 
for greater gloom
Suicide's ain't a way out 
fellow human friend
Pray a godless way not 
send you unto this doom
You haven't right to bring 
any life to its end.

And it's probable that all 
those years
that you now wish to 
recklessly discard in dust
have something bright 
ahead, got to be a ray of 
hope
Extinguish it not if in God 
you trust!

Shawn Munoz January 2, 2014 at 9:43 AM Bravo on this piece I could'nt agree more, Lord knows how many People I've stopped from making that mistake, I too have been down that road and pulled myself away from that ledge. Nothing is worth prematurly ending your life.

Shawn Munoz November 10, 2013 at 3:47 AM Nicely penned with a powerful message.E

Adesina Idris Dolapo September 7, 2013 at 11:51 PM Zaynub, another great piece. I wrote something on the same topic not quite long ago. Good approach and mastery. Keep going my sister.

Matthew Anish June 18, 2013 at 5:03 PM In the Jewish tradition suicide is frowned upon very strongly. Where there is life there is hope. You send a strong message in this work. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Hassan Haji June 8, 2013 at 3:15 PM Plain truth indeed!....to save lives.

Seosamh De Burca May 28, 2013 at 12:32 PM Well done, this is the second of your poems I have read today and both are wonderful. I agree with all the comments set out below. You have approached a delicate subject and offered hope and sensitivity.

Timothy Hicks May 23, 2013 at 12:13 AM What a sensitive and profound approach at tackling suicidal tendencies. What I find most unsettling is how most people only think of themselves when they try to end their life... they don't think about all the family and friends (people that cared about him) that would feel so much pain, when they make such a selfish decision... suicides don't just affect the person committing it... not by far.

Suzanne Delaney May 22, 2013 at 9:32 PM Wonderful poem full of reasoning and sense. I know it will help someone looking desperately someday.

Betty Bateson May 17, 2013 at 6:06 AM There is always hope if we only try to reach for it. Well done! Betty
