Why Some Choose To End It All
Could this be why one chooses to end it all?
We have all wondered about the whys,
Because life often throws one against a wall
A person can fall no matter how hard s/he tries.
We have all wondered about the whys
Thinking we knew all our loved one’s foils,
A person can fall no matter how hard s/he tries
Or how diligently s/he struggled with toils.
Thinking we knew all our loved one’s foils
We were never privy to what was going on inside
Or, how diligently s/he struggled with toils
When there was no one with whom to confide.
We were never privy to what was going on inside,
The full extent of one’s suffering and pain
When there was no one with whom to confide
They came to feel they had everything to gain.
The full extent of one’s suffering and pain
Finding no solace, life becomes a heartless abyss
They came to feel they had everything to gain
By choosing to leave this life for an eternity of bliss.
Finding no solace, life becomes a heartless abyss
Because life often throws one against a wall,
By choosing to leave this life for an eternity of bliss
Could this be why one chooses to end it all?
