Suicide Poem by James Dorn

Suicide
I’ve often thought of committing this act
I realize if I do there is no turning back

There will be no do overs
No second chances
No opportunity for me
To see how the world advances

I never talk about my feelings
I keep them bottled up inside
I can’t talk about them
My pain, I must hide

These emotions inside of me
They make me feel like I am weak
Like I have no control of them
So, of these things I do not speak

My life is not a bad one
By any means at all
But sometimes I feel like quitting
It’s like I’ve hit a wall

It seems like I can’t get ahead
No matter how hard I try
When I sit and think about it
Sometimes I want to die

These feelings are mine Mine and mine alone
Maybe you will understand them more
Once I am dead and gone

I have so much to live for
But sometimes I do not see it
If I had one reason to live
My friends and family would probably be it.
