This is such an awesome poem. I can relate to this in weird ways. I have never tried to commit suicide.. but I have wanted to. I get depressed really easily anymore, and its so hard to talk to anyone. You made it so clear when you wrote this. You helped me in more ways then one. Thank you so much! Keep writing and remember, that no matter what, you always have writing. So if you want to commit suicide ever again.. remember to write. get your feelings down on paper.. and it might help you. it sure helps me!

This poem is a really great poem and I know exactly how you felt b/c I also have been in a similar situtation. Now I love my life, but I still have my ups and downs. I always know that GOD is always on my side though. Great Poem Keep It Up!!!

I loved your poem dearly, you have put into words the very thing that I am fighting as we speak. I am 17 almost 18 years old and suffer from severe depression. I fight to live for each day, and sometimes I'm close to losing. But it helps me along to know that someone out there too knows what it is like to stand on the brink of death look over and think "I need to hang on for a few more seconds". Life is something that everyone should love. I love life, I need my life. But there is that deep dark dull pain that has haunted and continues to haunt my life. Knowing that you have been there eases my pain, knowing that someone else knows the indescribable pain we feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

ive been in your shoes before, im 14, and have attempted suicide before. suicide does nothing for you, except cause pain and grief. if you feel it is your "detiny" then you truly are sad. heed my words, for it is best for you and your family if you will just put down the knife.
