Death's beauty, like black lipstick
Comes in a golden case
It is SO very lovely
Upon a tomb-white face
It may seem very comely
It has a certain grace
It smells of perfumed hemlock
Arsenic. Old lace.
But there should be a label
That explains the brutal facts.
It tastes like gall and wormwood
Like septic sealing wax.
When worn too very early
And applied with one's own hand
It is an invitation
To the Boutique of The ******.

Unfortunately some young people see suicide as glamorous. There is nothing
Beautiful about death by one's own hand!
Please! If you contemplate this, listen to someone who knows. I tried to commit suicide 3 times in my life. There is nothing glamorous about a tube down your nose to pump your stomach!
I am profoundly glad now that I was unsuccessful in my attempts. I found salvation in Jesus Christ. My life has never been the same. I still go through depressions in hard times. But there's always light at the end of the tunnel!
This poem was inspired by the poet katie.
Thank you!
