#47 Death Not Being The Way

This was a longer poem. When I was very depressed I used to think about death every day which was scary. Now I'm not in that state anymore, although still somewhat in depression. I learned to cope, but some people haven't been so lucky as to change their mind about suicide.

This poem originally was published in Sad Poems - Depression and Suicide Poems

Death Not Being The Way

by Angell

I held the knife so close to my heart.
Like a foolish child I sat and I cried,
Didn't realize what I had done, what I had tried.
Tears mixed with blood, falling slowly to the ground.
Covered in blood, pulled myself up, in tears scribed:

"To those who don't care, to those who can't see,
Never Give up always thrive to be free."
Didn't know how many people would later cry.
"Tried to be free, yet I see this isn't the way."

Friend at the door, ran as fast as she could.
Too weak to say I'm sorry, otherwise I would.
In tears, looked at the blue sad day.
When you come and see this pool of blood and me,
This isn't the way my life was meant to be.

i thought your poem was great,but i think you shouldn't think about suicide so much or of depression i think it's not worth it i had a friend who thought the same way and ended up committing suicide at the age of 17 my advice is to really think about it.

your poem made me a little bit upset, i've been down that road, i took an overdose! I could of died but they managed to save me, i was 13 at the time and im still 13 i done it about 2 months ago, i still feel as if i want to die sometimes, but im a bit more happier with my life, i've got a boyfriend and im in love. Im not goin to give up that, and im not goin to give up my life, when i was in hospital i thought to my self: why did i do this? look what i've done, i've got my whole life ahead of me! anyway, your poem touched me and i thank you for making me realize that it isnt a cool thing 2 do xxxxxlauraxxxxx

Loved it. Hope to see much,much more. Just remember whats done is done sometimes you can make up for it,sometimes you can't. You can never be to sure so don't attempt. Suicide is never the answer. Before they attempt I hope every one will see that it's not all it's craked up to be.
Jake

Oh my god. I just read through a bunch of poems. This one was so much different from the others. I felt a huge pwoer go trhough me when I finished. Putting your life to an end and then finding out it wasn't meant to be like that. This is a terrific poem. Thank you
