Marilyn Blackman Poem
Suicide is sad and an awful thing to have happen to anyone,
however, in all honesty, have you ever been to that point?
Have you ever hurt so bad down in your soul that you
just couldn’t make it through another day with that pain.
Has your life ever felt so meaningless, and empty that you
wanted to end your own pain and suffering?
So many say, I can’t believe he/she had killed themselves,
but is it really a shock to you, that it came down to this?
Where there not any signs of sadness, or pain?
You may be heartbroken and confused,
but think about his or her feelings at that moment.
When it comes down to whose feelings are more important,
more valuable, or who is suffering to most, or who will be sad,
the individual has to put them self first.
No one wants a friend, family member, or a loved one to
commit suicide, or even attempt, but the decision is not yours.
Some believe it’s a selfish act, and some believe,
it’s just taking the easy way out, but unless you
have been to that point in your life, you don’t know
how it feels to want to commit suicide.
Suicide is not cool, it doesn’t really hurt those
you thought it might. Suicide is you giving up
on yourself, giving up on your dreams, and your goals in life.
Suicide is a permanent absence of you from this world,
and the lives of those who love you.

Marilyn Blackman Poem
As life goes on and we leave the past behind us, we continue to look forward toward our future. They say what goes around comes around, and I guess that our past does the same thing. A person can go on with life and put the past out of their thoughts, but the past is never gone and it is not in reality even forgotten.
I am not saying you can go back into your past and right a wrong. That is how we learn, we all learn from our mistake and we all learn from our experiences. So do not just shut the door to the past, sometimes the past is the only key to your future.
Have you ever lost contact with a loved one? Have you ever wondered what happen to someone? Have you ever thought about what could have been, or how something would have turned out? On the other hand, have you asked yourself this same question repeatedly “What If”. Have you ever thought about looking up an old friend just to see how he/she is doing? Do you just go on day to day only thinking about what will tomorrow bring, or do you always look forward without ever looking back?
I did not know what to do or what to say. It had been over 10 years and yet just by talking to, hearing from, or seeing this person from my past had brought back so many memories. I myself thought I had lost and put away those feelings and emotions forever.

Marilyn Blackman Poem
If I could develop the images and pictures in my mind,
if I could turn back the hands of time, oh what a story they would tell.
Only if I knew than, what I do know.
How could I have known, that you would
be a memory in my mind, how was I to know
what would become of me without you.
Just like looking through an old photo album,
I can clearly see the missing pictures of you and me.
The pictures were never there, and the pictures were never taken. But they remain in the back of my mind, the pictures that I can’t find in my photo album.
In the back of my mind the pictures are so clear, but as I flip through the pages of my photo album they are not in here.
All the picture of my past, so neatly arranged on the pages, but there are so many that are not there,
Maybe they were meant to be left out, of the photo albums of my life. Just as I look though old photographs, a tear runs down my face, so many pictures are missing or misplaced.
If only I could develop the images and pictures in my mind, what a story it would be.
