*When is suicide romanic? Tragic? Appalling? These questions bear their wait In the back of my spinning mind Here I squeeze the grip of a butcher’s knife, Not in the moonlight, but the ever-graying sky When no ears can hear the reverberating echo From your cries in the lies where you lost yourself so deeply When no one is willing to think of you For fear of ruining their day, Then is it perfectly unselfish to at upon unendurable pain In the blush of the night And the rolling, roaring peal of thunder The dark clouds express the torment Far better than my pathetic cries for condolence Yes, I’m cherishing my thoughtful misery As if it were unalike any other But I know it will end so quickly If I’d just jump the roof, ****** the dagger With the unbelievable, deafening, so blinding silence I know that nothing can lance the quiet With my towel in hand My last plunge in soon to come In the endless depths Of sorrow’s irrevocable ocean*

Don't blame those who are suffering
