Poor unfortunate soul
Now an empty shell
Hollowed eyes
Void of life.

Your world has crumbled
Your a mess in rags
Can't see straight
Through the fog of despair.

You see no colors
Just black and white
There is no joy
Happiness has fleeted.

Wandering aimlessly
As if caught in a whirlpool
Spiraling down toward the center
Into the abyss of depression.

Your love in ruins
Can't control yourself
Your only choice in mind
Is to give up your life.

You head toward the road
Laying flat on your back
Waiting for death
To run you over.

Life flashes through her eyes
Memories flow like a river
Of a troubled, demented woman
Who realized too late
She could of changed fate.
Forgive the melancholy or darkness to this poem. This poem was inspired by a troubling and traumatic sight I saw today when me and my mom were going grocery shopping. A guy and his girlfriend were arguing and the woman decided to lay in the road to try to kill herself, but luckily the car stopped when he saw the girl. It really shook me because you never see that everyday-but surely you guys out there might have seen something similar.

Why is it that people want to end their lives to get away from their troubled lifes? To escape their problems? Don't they know that they will pay for their tragic ends by staying in limbo to roam the world as spirits trying to repent and look back on their human lives to figure out ways they could of changed and made their lives better? Suicide is not the answer-You gotta face your problems head on, face your fears and troubles, seek help and shape up and change for the better than withering like a flower in the winter. You can rise like a phoenix from the ashes and begin anew. I just hope that woman and that boyfriend both get professional help to fix them up and improve as human beings.

As someone who suffers from thoughts of suicide and depression I might be able to help answer your questions. I'm sure it's different for everyone, but for me sometimes you just feel so overwhelmed by sadness that it's painful. It's a pain that can't really be described, but it's the most awful feeling I've ever known. It's like you're completely empty inside. You feel all alone, like a ghost that no one can see and so no one can help you. You don't fear what may become of you after death because at that moment you don't feel alive. It's true that suicide isn't the answer, but it's hard to be in your right mind when you're in so much pain. You'd do anything to make it stop.

I agree that the two of them should seek some kind of counseling. Abusive relationships are horrible. I hope their lives improve.
