The Beautiful Thing

The beautiful thing about suicide… 
Is that someone can think about it,
Can ponder it,
Can contemplate it; 
It can be in their thoughts, 
On their mind, 
In their dreams; 
An unwithering desire for death. 
And, you wouldn't know,
You wouldn't have guessed, 
You would have had no idea. 
And, that…
Is the beautiful thing,
About suicide.
