The Reality Of Suicide Poem by BlueStar Rising

Suicide has sadly become the only way out for some,
Feeling there's no other option than a blade, pill's or gun,

Just think how it must feel to be left with only pain,
And the voices in your head driving you insane,

You can't always see the signs of a person suffering inside,
All their problems and emotions they are good at hiding from sight,

They're scared to open up, afraid that you won't stay,
So they hide behind a mask and pretend that they're ok

Frequently one can feel like all the colour has been drained,
Constantly in a state of depression and turmoil that rarely goes away,

To be trapped with only darkness every single day,
You're just a moody teenager, that's what people say,

All you can do is make sure they know their loved and needed,
Because sometimes it can all come down to how their being treated,

Trust must be earned, for them to open up and share,
They don't need your judgment, they need your love and care,

Spread the love around and show the goodness in you're heart,
No matter what stick together as it's better than being miles apart.
