SUICIDE

©Dianne Barskey 2007

Is suicide the answer

To all of life’s issues?

No, I do not think so.

Suicide is “the easy way out.”

The difficult way is to say

“I need help. Can you help me?”

Talking, sharing, listening

Learning ways to cope

These are better ways for all.

Suicide leaves friends and family

Scratching their heads

“Is there something I could have done?”

“Is there something I did or said wrong?”

“What is wrong with me that you

Did not want to stay?”

Is this the legacy you want to leave?
