The Best Poem Of Nathan Boulton

Suicide

It is not an answer
It is not a question
It IS a cry for help

There is no way to ask
There is no way to tell
You expect them to understand
But it will take a while

You tell them it won’t ever happen
You say nothing will end
But when it comes down to it
The trust they put in you is lost

You did not ask
And you did not tell
You spoke lies and did not know where to go
It all added up and made an impossible problem
One after another you got deeper and deeper into the endless sleep you wish to achieve
When eventually you stop and you don’t know what is happening
You look around and you find those who care
The ones who are true and really love you
All the others could do without, regardless the situation
Forgive them as they cannot be expected to understand what is going on
Take what you found and use it
You now have help
The NUMBER ONE reason to stay awake
The friends, family, and life which you truly live for
Things do get bad and sometimes get worse
But when you break the seal of trust between you and a close one
The bond which keeps you here, breathing, living, staying awake for every moment
It’s almost impossible to get back

Talk to family
Talk to friends
Keep talking so things never end
Explain your troubles and help them understand
After it all happens it’s so easy for you not to care
Not care about life, what you do, friends, family, loved ones do
You gave up and want it to be over but the fight never ends
When you think no one understands where you’re coming from
When you think all hope is lost
Turn to the loved ones who were there through it all
Those who held you, kept you there, NEVER gave up
If you care about people who would sacrifice all they have just to keep you here
Let them know your troubles before you try to take the wheel
If you try to soon you will fear what is ahead
The time it takes to recover
For it is all in the head…………
