Suicide



Suicide



took his own life

He gave up mid-race.

Screamed for help, but in a world.

From people deafened by their own ego.

Nobody listened to you or tried to help you.


I had to learn to swim by drowning!

doing the right thing wrong

He had to pretend to be strong, but in the end

He surrendered to the arms of death.

The world was empty and cold and scary.

No reason, no color, no mercy, no love

Fears took hold of him.

He didn't commit suicide, they killed him!

Now, it doesn't matter anymore, the doors are open!

Cemeteries of a thousand graves open today!

A thousand and one here lies a common man.

He was passionate about life until it became

The cause of so many wounds.


People are like weeds.

They grow and kill the garden.

What's left for him?

Endless sadness and pain

He cut himself until he couldn't take it anymore!

He blamed himself for the sins of others!

Hypocrisy.

Where were you when he needed you?

Silence.

That's what he thought.

About this poem
