Premium Member Suicide Prevention
You must be in so much pain to be considering this.
The hurt, the misery, the anguish, the agony;
you can feel it burrowing its way deep inside,
gnawing voraciously at the very core of your being
and you would do anything - anything - just to make it...

Premium Member Suicide Prevention
On a harbor of restless shore
she scans across the deepened waves,
to end pain’s grim just like before...
as necklace breaks, in chilled farewell.

By edge of evening, time races
with hope to drown in circling tides. 
Not  a chance to hold stars’ graces,
a wish tangled in poverty.

Big...

Prevention Is Better Than Cure
Under the wheel of time
we are in threat
"AIDS" is roaring 
like a wild tiger,
jailed in a cage.
Attacking us
with sharp teeth & nail.

We are human beings
we are having a brain
we are having AK-47
But, with extreme poignant
and profound grief,
It is revealed that- 
we could not shoot it...

Suicide Prevention
'Inside My Suicide'

There once was a lonely man...on a lonely bridge, near a lonely city...
he did not want fame, our money, or our pity...
All he wanted was a smile, a kind gesture, a simple hello...
all he got was a light breeze, that came with the...

I was-
suicidal    when my baby died-
possessed with death
          when my love left 

a name    engraved    buried deep

and went into a dark pit
running from life   ...

Suicide Prevention: Pruned Not Severed
Half winged images
hopeless
of flight
believing
insufficient
to bestow
delight
Fluttering in shadows
reluctance 
to fly
disgraced
and shameful
reticent
to try
Hesitant to soar
averse
to fail
distraught
and untrusting
of what
may avail
Pruned not severed
capable
of aviation
when joined
together
and merely lifted
from isolation

Premium Member Suicide Prevention
There have been at least two people in our church  who have committed suicide. A gentleman; a lady; both of whom were more acquaintances than friends.  As I recall, their death occurred within a couple years of each other.    ...

Premium Member Help - For Suicide Prevention Week Contest- Too Long For Contest
When I was a young child I was raped
(molested) by a family member
That was the day that I died inside 
I didn't have no self worth
I loathed life and everything it stood for
I was nothing but trash
And as the years went by I longed for...

Suicide Prevention
Sometimes when someone is been 
constantly belittled and pushed towards the edge,
they sometimes believe that giving up 
is the only option and eventually take the leap.

Life is never fair and never will be.
Its full of heartache, disappointment, hurt and betrayal.
And you are left completely alone...

Premium Member The Trauma Prevention Department
Don't want to be stuck
in the Trauma Prevention Department.

Don't want to work that hard
on dogmatic compartments
for politically correct CAPITAL INVESTMENT
governments
over-investing in cautionary
conditional
chronic win/lose mistrustful
competitive dissonant miscommunications
and excommunication
which is counterproductive
for best Systemic Therapy practice

Of mindful-civil cooperative warm regard
AND co-investments in
EarTherapeutic Community Resilience.

I do want resilience to...

Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

Premium Member Dead Reckoning
Why did I have to silence my brain
Thinking it would alleviate the pain,
If only that hair trigger had paused
... Now look at all the troubles I caused

Forget the moment the last breath drew
The people who cared more than I knew,
Tomorrow is nothing but grass and...

Premium Member Earthquake
Earthquake broke out
Disaster came
No prevention but salvation
Fate is to be blamed or
God is to be blamed
Loss of properties
Deaths
Destructions to landscape 
Countless and unpredictable
Where compensations won't work
Salvation will be
The most important part
They do their parts and 
God will do the rest
People will come back when it's...
