Suicide Haikus (That Rhyme) 7.0
Please don't panic I am not considering suicide in the near future :-)
Suicide Haikus (That Rhyme) 7.0
(i) The Fall Of Man
A man on a ledge
A man on the very edge
over broken pledge
(ii) Not Only Women Bleed
He is going to slash
he now just wants to be ash
life's just a rehash
(iii) The Quick and The Dead
hope the rafter's strong
hope the rope is not too long
don't want to prolong
(iv) A Death to be Proud of
death has an allure
go out on my terms for sure
something obscure
Rock-a-bye
Now the broken bough
Life means nothing at all now
Life I disavow
(vi) Choice
Thou shalt not kill
but my life is all down hill
only me to kill
(vii) Trigger Warning
Not Russian roulette
chambers full of life's regret
pull once to forget

I must confess, without the disclaimer at the top, I would have indeed panicked. The struggle takes a heavy toll and you've expressed that here so well. I'm always saying reach out, you're not alone. But it never feels that way, does it? Nevertheless, you are loved, my friend. Endless hugs
