Suicide Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

How many times have you thought of suicide?
I’m sure not as much as I did,
Through all my sufferings I lied,
To myself. I thought my wounds were deeply hid.
Although they came to surface I refused to cry,
I said I’d rather die,
Than shed bitter tears from my eyes.
I’m suicidal and I dare,
I totally believe that life isn't fair.
Every time I decided to take my life away,
Something stronger than me urged me to stay.
I wasn't a coward, for I had the guts,
I didn't know what kept me.
But now I realize that a part of me refused to give in,
This part in me had hope for tomorrow.
So friends, through all your pain and sorrow,
Have faith in God and you'll see,
That life is worth what it’s meant to be.

Writer Profile
Rana Lo.


Poetry, to me, is a way to express my deepest feelings and thoughts. Sometimes I can't tell others how I feel so I write it down. In the beginning my poetry mainly revolved around love and heartbreak but now (I think) I've matured and try to generalize my topics. Can't wait for your comments and feedback!

Solution is a permanent solution to a temporary problem... all it takes to fight the urge is the ability to look at the bigger picture, though some people's eyes are clouded by sadness. Inspiring message, thank you for writing!
