Sinking slowly,
Silent suffering,
Sensing Sereton slip,
So, so, sad.
Shrouded secrecy.
Synthetic smile.
Senseless, stubborn shame,
So, so sad.
Smothering solitude
Scared,
Scarred,
Sore,
So, so, sad.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

So deep and very relatable, very well written, I'm sure this speaks to a lot of people the same.
Excellent
Sadly, every line of this was very relatable. I'm so glad you wrote about this! I loved it!
You said it well. I'm glad to see a piece calling attention to something that affects so many people.
I think you described it pretty well. Well written and important piece. Well done.
Sad 🥹But a Very Good Piece❤️😉
You captured me pretty well. And yes, thank you for posting the crisis line number, though, since I live in the States, I'm not sure it's available for me.
Splendid selfless signs surrounding stylish stanzas... And thank you for posting the info on the numbers and help available. ;)
