Suicidal..

Poem by Kathy Nelmes

By Kathy NelmesPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Do you ever feel suicidal?

Like the past can’t be left behind you.

Like the world just keeps caving in,

And no matter what you do, you can’t win.

Good happens then bad follows seconds after,

People make jokes but there’s no reason for laughter.

Dark thoughts flood my mind,

I hear voices telling me to leave the world behind.

I feel alone and rejected,

In this world people are never really protected.

I struggle to smile and my thought is to cry,

I can’t trust anyone I just want to die.

When the world is dark and gloomy,

And I think no one sees the true me.

Is it time to give up and run from reality,

Or is it time to seek help and realise the worlds not mad at me.

There are millions of loved ones that get left every second,

But just think of someone you loved that’s in Heaven.

Don’t you miss them and feel sad when you think,

Of all the memories, doesn’t your heart sink.

Wish you had more time to enjoy their life,

Then put down the tablets the rope or knife.

A life is so precious and yes yours is too,

Go seek help and advice, I promise someone will help you.

Whether bad thoughts or bad actions,

Or just one push too many and you need a distraction.

Help is right in front of you, in person on the phone or web,

Please look for help as your life is worth more alive than dead.

If you have suicidal thoughts and struggling to cope please seek help and call Samaritans free on 116 123 (UK and ROI) or visit the Samaritans website.

Your life matters and together we can make it better.
