When you OD yourself on drugs
Your stomach aches and cramps
When you take a razor and cut your wrist
The blood makes your clothes damp
When you build up the courage to jump off a bridge
Just before you hit you want wings
When you fill a syringe up with sh*t just to kill you
The needle hurts and stings
When you stand on a stool with a rope round your neck
Eyes water while choking to death
When you walk into water and hold yourself under
You gasp until run out of breath
When you load a gun to pull a trigger
You find it hard to aim
When you park your car in front of a train
The waiting drives you insane
When you think about the world today
Too many kids take their lives
A scarier thought is that many succeed
Causing suicide levels to rise
If you ever think about taking your life
Throw the idea in the bin
Look at all the sh*t you will put your self through
In the end, it's easier to live

The Bigger Picture

When you OD yourself on drugs
Your stomach aches and cramps
When you take a razor and cut your wrist
The blood makes your clothes damp
When you build up the courage to jump off a bridge
Just before you hit you want wings
When you fill a syringe up with sh*t just to kill you
The needle hurts and stings
When you stand on a stool with a rope round your neck
Eyes water while choking to death
When you walk into water and hold yourself under
You gasp until run out of breath
When you load a gun to pull a trigger
You find it hard to aim
When you park your car in front of a train
The waiting drives you insane
When you think about the world today
Too many kids take their lives
A scarier thought is that many succeed
Causing suicide levels to rise
If you ever think about taking your life
Throw the idea in the bin
Look at all the sh*t you will put your self through
In the end, it's easier to live

It was a good write Shorty and fallowed your other one well. I think we all have thought about suicide at one point or time in our life. I know I have but I have to much pride to loss my life to self death. Take care and keep up these writes life is truly a joy if only you let yourself live but the pain it brings is overwhelming….Steve
