Notes About The Poem

Thoughts of Suicide

Would you even miss if I were to die? Or would it be only a showing of your pride? What if I told you I contemplated suicide? Would you duck your head and run away and hide? If you were to notice how depressed I really am would you reach over and show me a true friend? The thought that you wouldn't eats me up inside, my tears are overflowing the well has now run dry. Friendship calls for sacrifice and not just on one side I gave my all to you to take and toss aside. It's sad to think I drop everything to run and do for you; you do do things for me but expect payment from me too! Reaching out to someone is very hard to do, it makes it even harder when you know they won't come thru. My door is open always and I never charged a toll, but I seem to pay one when you cross my threshold. Maybe I will stick around and wallow in self-pity, or maybe this will be the last of me you'll see!!!

Many people feel used at times by a family member , but one of these must never be a friend. A Friend never uses another. He or she would see the change and wonder how they might intervein. Thomas quoted saying ; when thought and feeling are one, you can move a mountain. So you are ordered to think and feel your worth. I can see you are talented. Many feel the pain that you expressed so vividly here. (Change the mind and change a life). And I will take my own advice. : ) Blessings from rz.
