Thinking About It..... It could be you... needing.....help

When you smile..... everyone smiles

when you cry .....you cry alone

In a room at night in the dark

feeling such despair and upset

reaching for the knife

to cut yourself again

Or stand on that bridge

near that edge want to

just jump...

Or stuff food

into your mouth

to quiet that hurt and pain

within

then feeling sick and vomiting

to bring it all up again

Knocking back the whiskey, gin

or vodka

until you nearly kill

yourself again.

But getting

saved

with a stomach pump

and in the hospital

yet again

Out doing the weekly shopping

something in your head just snaps

and your stand on the crossroads

wanting to just walk out on the

next car that just happens to pass

So many scenarios

so many people

so my thoughts

and ways

to kill

oneself.

How sad.

When really

we all should

be happy, carefree

and in love

and enjoying

this life

we all have

But not everyone

is happy

in this world

we all need

a helping hand

and real love

no matter who you are

in this world.

Reach out and really care

for others...

One day it could be you

needing a helping hand...

think about it...

just do not walk on past

with a care

This is the very best, super dooper, I-can’t-get-enuf poem of yours that I’ve read so far. I mean, I really love this one. For starters, I love specifics. I hate when people talk about pain in a general way, which is not a bit meaningful. Here you offer details for every kind of slow suicide & some that are faster. Many times I’ve looked around & been aghast at how many people are slowing killing themselves (to me, a main feature of your poem that makes it so fresh & relatable). That’s why I write my mostly silly sing-song ditties . . . it’s all I got to give . . . and this poem is what you have to give & your words are a gift to both the sad ones & those who could reach out sometimes but they don’t. This is a poem that addresses our times with important things that need to be said (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
