Why do you write about suicide
it’s something subliminally I can hear you say
You think my thoughts are so deep
as I write about yours on any given day

My name is Wayne
a sensitive person, it is meant for me
Grasping the feelings of others
there are things I can clearly see

Having once been silent
through my own youthful years
I too was bullied
and had my own lake of tears

I managed to get through it
I somehow found strength to deal with the pain
So now I write about dark feelings
to touch the hearts of those that bullies drain

If my words can save a life
and have meaning to a person so very sad
Then I would say writing about suicide is a good thing
I wouldn’t say it’s boring or bad

People who live a normal life
may not grasp what it is I say
These are the people
who do not live in sadness and fight to live another day

So when you find my poetry to be sad
then know the words are not meant for you
It is me as a poet
sending a lifeline, trying to get a message through
