Please?
I feel it spreading through every vein
freezing my blood, my body, my brain
my mind shrieking
don't make me go through this again.
another death, another suicide
another person who couldn't lift the lies,
another sob, another tear
another bad, mad, sad-filled year.
drugging yourself up to the eyeballs
kill yourself with an overdose,
keep popping those pills
until you fatally choke....
I know you get low
I know you get depressed,
I know you want to die
the will to live less and less,
I know you get nightmares
I know that's the reason for your screams,
I know you try and forget
even when you're betrayed by your dreams,
I know you can't stand it
when others assume things about you,
I know you hate it
especially when what they say might be true.
I know all this
I know that this world you want to leave,
but don't
just don't do it,
hang in there
at least for a while longer
keep going for me
please?

This is good jewel!
It seems rampant nowadays doesnt it? This town of ours, has had its share of it.
It is so sad.
Maybe your poem should go to all the highschools...or the town newspapers. Your poem shows someone cares!
Great write Jewel!

It is
but because it's only ordinary people who are turning to this, no one does anything about it-so sad. thank you Linda, for your words :) ♥
Sad
reality of it all is that no matter how you plead and beg with a person, until they are themselves ready nothing can be done to change their path. Thanks for sharing Jewell .......

Thank you
it's what I was feeling when I wrote it, the way you just can't change their minds no matter what you do-thanks for reading Ron :) ♥
wow...
Very intense and well written. I've had more than one friend before that has played with the idea of suicide and one who succeeded. It's such a sad and low place that brings a person to this point.
Take care,
Mark

I'm sorry about your friends, you sort of ask yourself could you have done more to stop them becoming that desperate in the first place-not a nice situation to be in. thank you for your comment :) ♥
people left behind
That's one of the worst parts of suicide, the people left behind. I like how your poem emphasizes that in its closing. Emotive writing, Jewel.
Thank you neo
sometimes I wonder if people who kill themselves are actually being selfish, because of all the people who care about them which they leave behind...thanks for reading Neo :) ♥

Jewel,
I have a simple dream that one day we will value the worth of every person that we meet. The world is in such a hurry to get somewhere that it leaves some people in the dust.
I am very touched by the generosity of your spirit to remind people to fight for life. It is in the fight where we meet tomorrow. Tomorrow is a destiny worth reaching, just a day away.
Love you,

So simple
but if managed, it'd be amazing-thank you Kathy for reading this one, I always appreciate your comments :) ♥
Touching write Jewel
I could feel the emotions as I read this... I am making the assumption that this is about your friend who has been through so much. Its almost like I can close my eyes and hear a some what raised and forceful voice, beating against the walls of her spirit, and at the end to end it in almost a whisper with the word "please". Well Jewel I can feel it, it is my hope she can feel it too. Best wishes,Lee
Thanks Lee
for taking the time to read and comment, though actually it isn't about my friend who's had trouble (she's doing loads better, thanks for asking, her sparkle's coming back so I'm really happy for her) it's a family member who's not been so good lately-don't know what it is with me, all the people I care about seem to go awol :P thank you, and take care :) ♥
Man Jewel,
The last several months have been, at best, a challenge for you, now its your uncle... I don't subscribe to the idea that once a person has made up their mind to commit suicide that that is how it will always end, people can change, I have seen it myself. He needs a reason to live, maybe a dog or a cat, or maybe you should go and talk to him and say you need advice on something, whether you need it or not. Maybe you should copy this post and give it to him... It still may end bad, but as long as he is alive there is still a chance. I know this has had to take a toll on you but I think you will see you are stronger than what you may realize, keep your head up-Lee
Yeah
it's definitely not been easy, but that's life...it doesn't let you have a break from things :P he's got other people helping him through it, but it's a really long story (spanning over a couple of years) if I went into it now you'd still be reading this tomorrow hehe. thanks for that Lee, keep yours up as well :D ♥

~Have Them Step Into the Sunshine~
Jewel,
Many people think about suicide. I have had family members suffer with these feeling too. I have noticed that people do not know how to stop thinking...but nature seems to calm the spirit. Sometimes just taking someone outside or to the beach can produce some calm in the storm. It sounds so simple...but I honestly believe that nature can bring a great peace.
My thoughts are with you today and each day. May God give you the grace to comfort the one you love.
Thanks for being loving! We all love you!
Love,
xo
Kathy
aww Kathy
we've tried everything-talking, listening, advising, helping...next time I see him (it's my uncle who's had a bad time) I'll tell him that there are always some things worth living for, even if you can't see them at the time. thank you :D ♥
