Suicide Poem by Ashley Seymour

In one month from tomorrow,
It’ll be two years,
Since your story ended,
And I cried all those tears.

The word they used was suicide,
That’s what the experts say,
I just know my life,
Was forever changed that day.

Shattered worlds;
Words left unsaid,
Temporary insanity,
Something snapped inside your head.

What was going through your mind,
The day you made that call?
What about your children,
Did you think of them at all?

In my eyes,
My mom so strong,
Never giving in,
Always fighting tooth and nail;
Never stopping till she’d win.

So to think the pain to great,
For my mother to withstand,
Surrendering to the devil,
Throwing up her hands.

The thought of her just letting go,
Still brings me to my knees,
I question if I have the strength,
To keep fighting, you see.

Sometimes a person makes mistakes,
That permanently alter
the course life takes.

You can’t go back and mend them,
Try as you might,
You have to live with your decision;
Be it wrong or right.

We all have but one chance,
To make this life our own,
Some choices last forever;
Your name engraved on the headstone.

They say you shouldn’t dwell,
On that which you cannot change,
So though it’s hard I must go on,
My life I shall arrange.

I want to say just one more thing,
Then I’ll be on my way,
Thank you mom,
I love you,
You’ll be alive in my heart,
Right here with me everyday.
So I’ll dry the tears,
And hold my head Hi,
Because since you’re a part of me,
You’ll never really die.
