Suicide Kids Poem by Patrick Shields

Looking for happiness we knew long ago
Always getting so close than we stumble and fall
People pretend to understand but they really don't know
Those fake people know nothing of how it feels nothing at all

We are called freaks an abomination to society
Being led to believe that everything will get better
Yet each year our hearts are plagued with anxiety
And more and more of us write our final letters

We fantasize about how we'll go through with it
Whether we'll overdose or use the barrel of a gun
If we'll hang ourselves with or our throats slit
Whether it be a disturbed daughter or schizophrenic son

If they could only understand we are people too
Where not some alien race you've never seen
We are human beings men and women just like you
Yet were still treated differently by people so mean

We dare not look for friends outside our clique
Us Suicide Kids need to stick together
Afraid that outsiders will terrible pain inflict
Knowing in our hearts we can't last forever

So just forget that some of us are still alive
Things will remain this way for us until the end
Still looking for a perfect chance so we ourselves could die
But as one of our stories end another one begins
