Suicide Poem by Preston Mwiinga

Why did you commit suicide when your loved ones still needed you.
It is true you faced so many challenges in your life that you could not comprehend.
The people that seemed so close to you, all left you alone
You were deserted
Your life became like a desert
Whilst they fed of a dessert.
I told you to hold on with life, you promised me you were going to do so but you have not honored your promise,
You have taken away your own life.

Tears are flowing from my eyes with so many questions that have gone an answered and the guilt conscious that i wish i had done something to help you but it was too late for me to do so, because you have died just like that.
I understand the burdens on your shoulders were too much but you could have held on just a little longer.
God does not allow problems without solutions to come to us.
Like a lock maker, he never makes a lock without an appropriate key to open that lock,
Same with our God, he is always there with a solution.
He only requires our faith and belief.

So many people in hospitals are fighting for breathe, they are fighting hard to survive. They do not want to die, they still want to survive.
But the story is different with you, you fought life,
you chased it away till that life was taken away from you.
I do not condemn you like others are doing all i am saying is why have you wasted your precious life.
If only life was like in computers, I would have restored your life to that earlier moment when things were okay, maybe you wouldn't have killed yourself.

I will mourn you for the rest of my life. I will continue to to blame suicide for taking you away from me.
It is very true that life is always valued from the moment of conception until one dies.
You are dead, my life is left with a dark cloud.
Physically you have been taken yourself away from this earth but your memories are still fresh on my mind.
I will forever miss you my friend, Cheerio bye bye.
