Pete; a kid I used to work with killed himself two nights ago. He shot himself from what I've been told. They say that his girlfriend broke up with him the night before. Two things here, why the fuck would you shoot yourself for some girl, and second I guarantee that he was tripping on some kind of drug if not many of them.
"But we all bleed the same way as you do"
Then today I find out that Konrad; another kid I worked with drank a fifth of something and popped 8 pills. Now we all know that alcohol and pills don't mix, a failed attempt for suicide? I don't know that for sure. Too many people try to take the cowards way out and it is a cowards way out.
"And we all have the same things to go through"
Suicide. To some, it is only a word. To others, a fleeting thought of no real concern to them. But to people cowardly enough to attempt it, it's a painful reality. It's loneliness and isolation and hopelessness and despair. It's agony and anger and an endless road of desperate turns. But it's not a solution.
"Hold on, if you feel like letting go"
You look down on yourself and you hate yourself and you feel alone. You feel rejected and unaccepted and it seems there's nothing to live for. Maybe it's your family or your friends. Maybe you're abused or on drugs or on the run. Maybe it feels like nothing else matters and it's the only way out. But it's not.
"Hold on, it gets better than you know"
If you feel this way, talk to someone: a parent, friend, relative, counselor, doctor. Call a hotline, read a book, write a poem, take a walk. But suicide is not worth it.
"Hold on"
Maybe what I'm saying means nothing and maybe it means something. But you don't have to feel alone anymore. I care. No matter who you are or where you're from. Someone always cares. But please, don't look at death as an answer.
