On Love and Suicide
For those who have contemplated suicide
After love has broken their hearts
This verse offers a little view because life
Comes in fragments and vital parts
Love at times takes many twists and turns
Some for the worst without resolve
Its providence’s merciless deal of the cards
A sign that sometimes we have to evolve
Life will always have obstacles and barriers
No matter how positive one can be
But it is a precious gift to be appreciated
It’s a choice to make in the road of destiny
Love is supposed to be shared and treasured
And sometimes it’s meant to be lost
But no matter how deep or great the hurt
We should grow stronger even when crossed
And when you feel the weight of the world
When the wave of emotion seems to drown
When that wall of sound seems to overwhelm you
Remember
Others love you even if you don’t see them around

Hi. :)
I thought the sensitivity of voice was engaging, the subject matter is very relatable and it's a touching write.
I would be thrilled if you would send an audio reading of this to the site's podcast, The Poetcast Project. I think people would benefit from hear this. Audio poems add dimension with your unique vocal inflection and the feature may draw interest to your writing on site and inspire new friendships. If you would be interested, please send an mp3 or mp4, including your screen name and the poem's title, to:
undergroundoutloud@outlook.com
Member participation is the life's blood of the podcast, so I hope you will consider it.
In kindness,
Daniel

Thanks for the invite Daniel, I would love to record it. It is a sensitive subject knowing a lot of folks suffer from depression and break ups are especially tough on them.
I'll work on it within a day or two (working from home is just kept me extremely busy), but I'll make sure I get out to ya (I might even post it on YouTube, I'm just learning and catching up with all this technology).

I understand and there is no rush. Thank you so much for your reply and considering it. If you need any tips on recording feel free. I learned everything I know (which isn't much lol) from Missy and Magdalena, two amazingly talented and skilled ladies. Most people record on either Vocaroo.com or Audacity free recording software, in my experience. I started on the former and moved over to the latter.
