"suicide"

[goldenrod]

SUICIDE!


I know where death's door is!
Infinitely more terrifying,
the key to that door,
is forming in my mind!

Hot inchoate thoughts
are forming it...
Despair is directing it!
Hopelessness,
will turn it in the lock!

Good, strong poem! On a personal note, I hope you are not really contemplating suicide. As one who has tried before, it isn't the answer. It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Take care!

I second Pendragon's advice.

“Anyone desperate enough for suicide...should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.” Richard Bach

I like the poem, but not as much as your other ones. As for suicide, I'm not going to condemn it, as I think that it is really up to everyone to take their own decisions, everyone has the right to die and I refuse to judge it. Suicide is not always linked to temporary problems, it can be the result of someone who feels like life here in general doesn't suit them. However, I like Prince's quote, that makes sense.
Now I don't think that your poem is related to your personal feelings, I didn't feel it this way, I thought you were only exploring the subject from an external viewpoint, but maybe I'm wrong.

On reflection, I guess I should have prefaced the poem with a disclaimer of personal involvement. Didn't think anyone would take it that seriously...

The poem was the result of a conversation I recently had with a friend, concerning some past nasty suicide attempts, where we had been called in to help put the pieces back together again.
The harrowing details of which, I will not go into...

Yes...it was from an outside point of view, except, it took a lot of blood on my hands to arrive at!

Maybe that's what really good poems require. ;)

Suicide doesn't need to be all of the physical body - actually it does,
but it's the whole body promised in the end after killing a bit of it off relative to someone else in your 'real' world every day.

I see nothing wrong with suicide, because a bit of it happens every second inside of everyone.

That probably made not much sense.
Meh.

This poem is strangely spun out of weird imagination.

It is a sad thought that, at one time, suicide was a crime, and the only crime where no prosecution was instituted if successfully carried out!

I can think of circumstances where suicide could be a valid action, but those circmstances are few and far between...

Weird is only the starting place for my imagination!
