Suicide Anonymous by Joe Wong

I'm gonna leave now...but I wanted to say goodbye
I didn't want you worried....I didn't want you to ask why
I've decided it would be best without me here.....
There was just too much i couldn't bare.......

Good Bye

Too many nights crying to sleep
Too many memories....too much to keep
No one understood that he was all alone
There was no one for him....they were never home

Forgive me...

Who would have guessed that it'd be me
If only you were here...seeing what I see
He couldn't close my eyes without seeing the past
It was the pain that told him he wouldn't last

It's time...

He had so much hope
That he would live so long!
But as he tightened the rope...
He realized he was wrong.....

He had a better idea...He would write my story
He would end it with a twist! He'd write it on his wrist....
He blinked his eyes...and felt one last tear....
Then he felt his troubles slowly disappear...

No! No!

That wasn't enough! He went through the cabinets...
He found all the stuff.....
He swallowed every pill he could find
But then he had something else in mind!

He took a drink....whiskey I think
By then he felt his life start to shrink...
But then he saw something....it seemed a mile away

I remember!

It was a picture...it was of him and her
And he thought of how much she did for him...

At that point, he wanted to live!
He still had so much life to give!
He couldn't die now! He couldn't leave her all alone!
NO NO NO........somone came home!
What's going on in here??

With wrists twice slashed and life fading away
He made a dash for his room but his body started to sway
He ran into her...not knowing she was there
Laying in her arms, he could see the horror in her stare

He tried to look away
but he couldn't move his head
Today was his day
He was dead

Wake up!! Wake up!!

It was too late now, he had passed
She couldn't believe it...but the question asked....

Why couldnt a mother....who lived alone with her son
Figure out when all of the problems had begun?

Sad
This is a very sensitive write. I hope it's not true in your life. Suicide is something that can always be done later, but once it's done, you can't change your mind later.
I've heard that practically everyone who survives jumping off a bridge (attempted suicide) suddenly realizes at the start of the fall, as soon as there's no turning back, that all of the problems that caused this decision were either temporary, or could be handled, or at least tolerated.
The decision is regretted long before hitting the ground or the water, but the feeling is like trying to call back a bullet that you have just shot into the heart of your best friend.
