I've read so many poems
Of young ones wanting
To cut their lives
Why is that so abundant?
In this world we all call home
Tears cascade from my eyes
As I read each poets write
Why would you want to be?
Away from your family
And your friends
I know I'm not a saint
Was a zombie most of my life
But at least I'm still breathing
And have my own son
Within my life
I try to understand
The pain you all went through
But it makes no sense to me
To why you want to cut your selves
I shudder to think
If my son would do that too
It would just kill me for sure
Because he is the apple of my eye
I beg I plead with sorrow
Throw away all those nasty knifes
And embrace the gift god gave you
An ever lasting life
Personally I think the generations are getting weaker and weaker and more reliant on technology and to my generation, collectively believe that it's harder to live you know have a future. This generation is filled with materialism and we all know that money is wicked and just people probably find that hurting themselves or suicide is the easiest option because their life may be of suffering. But yeah I don't know that's just what I think. However, very good write :) I enjoyed it!

Its funny, I'm the generation your talking about and the truth is I feel disconnected with it, I have thought about suicide myself, and have writen a little bit about the subject matter here, I think technology is one factor all it does is teach us to become disconnected and live an antiseptic life free of true feeling, another factor is the loss of family, we have become so individual that we are taught to never trust the group, if our family unit is broken so is the social system. Great work Kaila, soulful and filled with truth.
