Suicide Poems
Sad Knight
by Civl 12346
What would thou think of me tying rope to the tree?
With every strike mine own sword stabs back at me.
Perhaps I will let mine enemy pierce me,
For I can go on no longer.
Each day I sharpen and shine my blade.
And each day in its reflection I see myself fade.
If only the Fades could snip mine tarnished thread
And leave me strewn among the field with the other soldiers lying dead.
I look to the heavens; may He guide me.

The Weight of Calling 988
by Frangipani Retrograde
It's been a week since I last showered
Can't force myself to get ready for anything
If I wake up it's a miracle 'cuz I haven't gone to bed for days
I just fall asleep with the lights on
I wish I wasn't here,
I wish I wasn't here.
Nobody knows but I'm living a lie
Sit at my desk and I'm wondering why
I have to be affected by losing my friend

Suicide Of A Puerto Rican Jibaro In Mainland Buffalo
by Alberto Cappas
They didn’t understand.
They were all Americans now.
He would smile sometimes,
thinking about his youth in Ponce,
Carmen, Rosa, Teresa & Liza.
Holding on to dreams
that helped him stay alive.
The tropical music that was killed
by the new sound of “salsa.”
But they didn’t understand,

Suicide Note
by Robert Mestre
My eyes have cried
a million times,
now as dry
as dessert sand.
My heart has sank
with no strength to rise
from the well
that once held hope.

Argument For Suicide
by William Wordsworth
Send this man to the mine, this to the battle,
Famish an aged beggar at your gates,
And let him die by inches- but for worlds
Lift not your hand against him- Live, live on,
As if this earth owned neither steel nor arsenic,
A rope, a river, or a standing pool.
Live, if you dread the pains of hell, or think
Your corpse would quarrel with a stake- alas
Has misery then no friend?- if you would die
By license, call the dropsy and the stone

Danny
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
He was the type that's always dirty
A sloppy eater no one wanted
To sit next to him at lunch
Lonely, myself, but I wasn't desperate
All year, we bullied him
Saying he was so slow, and no one wanted
To be his friend
I always wondered what he was thinking
He was always happy
With a brown and crooked smile

Frozen soul
by Joshua Thomas
Down the drain, the blood flows,
Thick like a winter storm, it clogs like the pieces that are missing in my heart
as it fades in out from blackness back to light as my life force slowly leaves me
mesmerized in shock that this is what reality has come to
A blood-soaked ice bath and all the humanly regrets that I wish would flow like my blood down a drain and unclog my mind from this disease that I call my brain.
Kill Me, Please.
by Frangipani Retrograde
I wrote some words
From the deepest of my soul
Wrote them on my right knee
Should I stay or should I go
I've had showers and
I've changed my clothes
But I keep them where you can't see
Let me die. Kill me, please.

PTSD v.2
by Falling Awake
Four years elapsed,
Since the world collapsed,
And I still can’t delete it,
Delete it from my head.
The concrete impaction,
One solitary action,
From able to chained,
Chained to his deathbed.
