The Candy Man

The Candy Man

A Poem by Max Rwizi, Jr.

Mr. Suicidal Thoughts came to me
This other day asking for a place to stay in
My head for a couple of days, but since i was
Alone, no one to talk to, I saw him as a friend
Who was offering me happiness so I befriended him,
But if I`m being honest, he became my family.
He promised that he would take care of me,
Be there for me in every step of the way if
Only I listen to what he says.
He told me that cutting my wrist meant cutting
Off the problems and the lonely that came with it.
He told me not to worry about the pain that came
With cutting the wrist for it merely resembled the 
Pain that had colonized my soul.
I did what he told me to.
I felt the blood from every corner and dark alley of
My body running scared but I was made to believe
That if it scares you then its probably the right choice.
As i was heading towards this so-called freedom, i realized
That i was leaving my actual family in deep anguish.
See, I remembered the words stuck at the back of my
Head which read "Suicide does not take the pain away
it merely, it merely passes it to the next person."
I could not let anyone go through the pain I went through
At my expense.
I had to appreciate what I had and work from there.
With the last drop of energy in me, I managed to call 
For help and they managed to pull me back from St. Peters gate.
If you are reading this,verily verily i say unto you, suicide is
Like that well known pedophile that tries to use candy to lure
Kids to his basement.
His promises might seem sincere but the reality of it
Is not as promising.
There will come a time where you will feel like the wall
And the celling are your only friends, trust me I know
But do not let the candy tempt you.
The end.
