SUICIDE

Today a friend mentioned a suicide and I was saddened.
But not by the act.
No. No. Life is over for them.
By the consequences for all, I am saddened.

Suicide is selfish.

The pain ends for you,

But your friends bear the questions,

"Could I have helped?",

"Did I cause your pain?",

And, most of all, "Why?",

But you will and can never answer.

It is a cruel trick to take your life from those who love you.

The ultimate irony, the solution to make your life better by ending it.

You pay the ultimate price, but sacrifice our hearts.

Suicide is selfish.
