She gets high on suicide
Cos that’s the aphrodisiac
Running through her veins
At some point soon
She’ll hear that tune
Pushing her nearer
To her doom
The note is already in her head
Recited from the living dead
Goodbye world
It’s time to go
I know you know
But don’t feel sorry for little me
Cos this is the day I finally see
Maybe next time you never know
But for now it’s time to go
Finally, falling fast asleep
Exactly like they said
The note now lying beside her head
The final extract it simply read
Recited from the living dead.

crude wording, I imagine done
for poetic effect, to awaken
but sadly, just as easily
could backfire and cause
some unsuspecting reader
unnecessary hurt..
(just my wussy-ass
& its soppy, do-gooder
way of thinking
please, ignore my words completely
if you disagree)
I still like, and support
what your poem was trying to achieve, dear Poet
'At some point soon
She’ll hear that tune
Pushing her nearer
To her doom
The note is already in her head
Recited from the living dead'
(from the living dead
indeed
how morbidly true
this reads)
No, I get your point, and suicide should definitely never be trivialised. This poem fallows on from the poem, OKAY. All about mental healt.
You can’t see their mental health
It’s not like a leg break
They keep it locked away
I’m okay, with a smile
Write that down
Hear the bells
I’m okay
Now listen up
The sure fire way to knowing the problem
Is the note
This will tell you all you need to know
You don’t want to read it
Okay.
brilliant concept, next time
please give as a hint in the author's comment
and a link to the previous, relevant write
so we can fully contextualise, the deeper meaning
in your concepts and words, my friend
(you already know our reader's brains
need all the help, we can get
'clutching at straws here') lol

That’s sad and grief stricken
How sad
Yet why does now everyone think like that
I think there's too much pressure on kids these days, not helped by social media, that actually shows you how to commit suicide.
Yep that’s true
This is amazing and I love it.
Thanks, screaming goat.
During the total lockdowns the number of suicides jumped up. Pressure had increased on those who had lost their business, income, families broken up. But the kids who spent even more time online and were being bullied was another big group of suicides You're right, mental health is a very important issue to bring up.
The last two years have been hellish for some out there.
Very good words Paul but suicide leaves so much sorrow for others when it happens.
Andy
It sure does, always a trail of despair.
