Why Not Suicide

Why Not Suicide.

Have you ever wondered,
Why am I alive,
When it’s all too easy to ask,
Why not suicide?

This question is there
For a reason you see,
It’s the ultimate reminder,
That you can always be free.

A simple flick of the wrist,
And the blood will come gushing out,
One click of the gun,
And you life will be gone without a doubt.

Many will ask,
Why not suicide,
Can I finally be rid of,
All the pain inside?

Go with my blessing,
To a new life with meaning,
To fly free away from the pain,
And a cold body that is still bleeding.

But while your contemplating this,
Just remember,
Those you will leave behind,
Who you promised you’d never surrender.

Why not suicide,
Yes indeed,
Why not end your life,
So you can finally be free?
