Suicidal tendencies 

Life don’t seem fair sometimes, don’t you know that’s the truth. So sometimes we hurt so much the pain is  too intense. Sometimes we feel we can’t go on as life wears down our defence. Because sometimes something gets in the way and that leads us astray, takes us down bleak dark paths that then just multiplies the pain. All I can do is to tell you keep strong, and all I can ask you do is believe in yourself but when the darkness descends and you bring your life to an end, I will shed a tear, thinking of your suffering and your fear. Did you even notice the rain, through all the heartache and the pain, or was it a sunny day or was life to you always just dark and grey. Chiaroscuro life grey in every way, shadows haunted you and you could not see your way through the dark. Now your suffering is over but the ones left behind who know you, will suffer at your loss, will cry at your despair, will wonder if they tried hard enough to show you that they cared. They will carry that guilt, that feeling of  shame and they will take this until the grave. So many people hurting, so many people broken, so many people die through an act of suicide and it breaks my heart to know this. It breaks my heart to hear and feel this. I breaks my heart but I know we must stay strong and I will share my love with everyone I connect with in a hope they don’t feel lost and lonely. Keep strong, keep the faith, keep the self belief.

  1. …and out of it we grow. Like the lotus flower arise from the muddy, we have the possibility to use the darkest hour as well.

    I just came across this old post of yours and like it a lot. I know the feeling of deep suffering… and I learned that it is a challenge and great opportunity as well. I hope you are well. My best wishes are with you. Love, Sovely

    Tired of being left in the dark while everyone suspects you’re okay. . .I have been having these thoughts lately. I’m not sure why though but I can get past it. Thank you!

      1. At least to me, it is true. And that’s the reason I blogged too, to share my thoughts so that others can find some answers in it, though I know I am not a good writer with a poor command of English language. Keep up the good work!

      2. I too feel the same. I offer my thoughts and hope that though my poetry and words may not be of literary genius, my thoughts were if just one person gets it. If one person connects to and get something from it then that is good enough gorgeous me. You are an awesome blogger and your English is excellent. I have only ever mastered English as a language and some may say mastered is pushing it lol 🙂
