The definition of suicide is: the intentional taking of one's own life;
However, what the dictionary doesn’t mention is that suicide doesn’t just steal your life, it steals from the lives of everyone around you;
That space where you fit, it’s empty forever. People can’t replace the part of their life that contained you, they can’t erase the memories you helped them make;
So when you **** yourself, just know that you’re also slowly killing everyone that loved you too;
The definition of suicide is: the intentional taking of one's own life;
Please don’t let that word, be the last verb, that describes you;

If anyone was in any way triggered or offended by this poem, please note that that wasn’t my goal. I know many people everyday stand on the edge of suicide, and if by reading this it made even just one person rethink taking their own life it’s worth having written it. Trust me when I say I’ve been there, I’ve known that pain, and many times I’ve had or acted on those thoughts. But I made it through it, I survived, & so can you. You are loved, you matter, and I thank god you exist.
