Hope Amidst Darkness

A note of suicide

The journey so far, it's hilarious,

A tale to tell, but it's not glamorous.

In shadows deep, where darkness thrives,

Lies a topic grim, where no one strives.

But pause a moment, don't turn away,

For within despair, there's more to say.

Let's delve into depths, where pain resides,

And explore the reasons one decides.

A mind unburdened, it once was free,

In laughter's embrace, in ecstasy.

But whispers crept, like venomous snakes,

Into the corners, where hope forsakes.

Life's challenges, a relentless tide,

Crashing upon shores, where strength had tried.

The weight of burdens, a heavy load,

Pushing one's spirit to a breaking mode.

Yet in the darkness, a flicker of light,

A plea for help, a chance to make it right.

The soul's longing for solace and peace,

Yearning for darkness to finally cease.

In desperate moments, the heart may scream,

Lost in the chaos, in a shattered dream.

But let us remember, dear friend of mine,

There's hope amidst the pain, a way to shine.

For in this journey, we're not alone,

Compassion's embrace can help us atone.

A listening ear, a comforting hand,

A love that reminds us, we can withstand.

Let's break the silence, erase the shame,

And build a world where all lives can reclaim

The strength within, to face the abyss,

To find a reason for life's sweet bliss.

So as we tread on this path together,

Let's reach out, love, and support each other.

For the journey so far, though filled with tears,

Can lead us to a future without fears.

Let laughter ring, let joy be restored,

A world where suicide is never ignored.

With open hearts and kindness in our gaze,

We'll light the way to brighter, hopeful days..
