There Is No Understanding

There is no understanding; Suicide is the final act of an individual, Who has reached a point where life Is no longer tenable. To ask Why? Is to imagine there is sense In this finality. To speculate on the state of mind, Which lays a foundation for Entry to eternity, is to think there is some Rational alternative, some possible pathway To salvation. But the abyss lies before, The end of torment invitation to give up Oneself to relief. To die, to sleep, perchance to dream. There is no understanding.
