Suicide

Alas, when a troubled mind decides to self-kill,

A darkness descends, overcoming their will.

All life long, trying to do their best,

And forever feeling they failed that test.

However, for them, that was all in vain.

For every effort to do good did contest,

Against an inner darkness, again and again,

Stirring an internal struggle, a relentless unrest.

What could be the source for this condition,

Laying deep within one's state of perception.

Of the plethora of sources stimulating such unease,

Inflicting on its host, an all-consuming mental disease.

Ruminating on this illness, might yield a mirrored reflection,

And a reminder of life's tenuous inter-connection.

Offer support, any way you can, extend a helping hand,

To those amongst us in need, across our troubled land.
