Suicide

To tell you the truth,

I want to jump off this cliff

and into the bellowing ocean below.

 

Escape from it all.

 

It's not that I want to die.

I know I will...or can experience good things in life.

But why go through the pains of pursuit

when I can just end it all now

and let the waves push me forever?

 

Be forever blissful.

 

There is one flaw in my little plan, though:

The experience of water choking my life away.

I'm not going to jump.

But I don't know how long I'll be standing here,

wishing I could jump.

Author's Note

At the end, I realize that ending life myself is not the answer. What i really want is an end to pain, not an end to life. In the end, as I wish to jump, I'm only thinking of finding peace, and I realize that it's not in my plan of suicide. Eventually, i walk away from the cliff.

Reviews

[Kerry Cochran]

I'm glad that you know the differences in escape as a writer it is important, not only for you to express but sometimes for others to feel and I have been there on the edge of the cliff, only my fear was of heights and not the choking of the water.

[Samuel Dickens]

An end to pain--yes, I've been there. Many of us have, but we held on and survived until another day. That's what you must do. You are prescious to this world.

[Teenage poet]

You must be a really thoughtful person. To think about ending it all just for the blissful afterlife? What powerful emotion it has behind it. What strong feelings. A sensation prevails longer and longer. You make me think deeply about it now. That is good, that is what a writer is ssupposed to accomplish. And you have accomplished it. Well done.
