*Triggering *
Suicide is a horrible thing that sadly many have thought about in their lifetime. Although the reasons behind one wanting to can be very different. One can want to take their own life because of the physical pain they are suffering from not being able to deal with the pain anymore. While another reason is the person could be being bullied, or having lost a job, a family member, or their home. The attempt itself could not so much them wanting to kill themself but wanting to feel nothing for a while wanting to sleep, also being a cry for help. Or it could be for the person their last resort, feeling like it is the only way for the pain to stop. Some signs to look out for would be if someone started saying how they feel trapped lost or alone. Eating too much or too little, starting to give personally objects away. Changing their looks or their attitude. Sadly some times these signs aren't always shown. Reach out and remind the person you are there for them.
Poem:
I wonder what it feels like to die
To go to sleep and never wake up
Even when the sun shines early in the morning. Does all the pain go away
All the horrible things you have to face
Because I can't take it anymore
I awake in the morning tears in my eyes
Feeling nothing but sadness
I don't want to be here
No one understands the pain I am in
The world shuts me down
telling me it's all in my head
I scream but no sound can be heard
I feel like I'm being smothered from the inside. Smiling while I'm slowly dying
The thought are so loud
I try I really do to shut them out
But they are like a marching band
playing in my head on
Repeat and repeat
The song is stuck inside my head
From morning
Till late at night
I don't want to let everyone down
But I can't feel anything for them anymore
All that I feel is emptiness
That is filled in every corner of my body
I don't what is scarier
When I felt everything
Or feeling nothing at all.
