About the Poem

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.

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.

LOVED the poem it reminded me if me. But I drink pills, I thouhgt life would be better if I wasn't there. That my family would be very happy if I was gone but in the end I know that someone very special loves me and wants me to love life. He cryed when he found out and talk and remind me everytime about it telling me its not worth it and it wasn't. I love life but sometimes (not as often as I did) I think of it.

april

i really liked your poem and you are very right and i think other people out there need to also realize that.

megan

jessica

i love this poem. it explains alot about how i feel. im 13 now. and have tried suicide about 3 times now. hanging myself and overdose. i never actually did it tho because of my best friend taylor and the thought of "wat happenes if i somehow live. " but thats when i was 12. i got better for a while and now im always depressed again and have started cutting. but i loved the poem and i love how people can rite a poem and have other people feel exactly the same. keep it up

i love this poem

Caiti

this poem explains the way i feel everyday. it reminds that i can't end my pain by killing myself and it reminds me that if i were to kill myself, i would pass my own pain on to those who love and care about me. i don't want them to remember that i died by commiting suicide.

Lela

Thank you for sharing this with us . , I happen to feel suicidal from time to time , I will definetly remember this poem when I have them the next time :P

Wiley

Angell, your poem really touched me. today is the 3rd of Dec. it's 1:06am since 9:30pm yesterday i have been dealing with my closes friends thoughts of suicide. i was they only person he told about these thoughts. he was going to go through with it,and still may he told me he wouldn't until he said bye to people at school then he said he wouldn't at all then again he would. so i've no clue what'll happen. i'm going to have him read your poem and maybe he will see he's not alone. i tried to tell him it wasn't the right way to deal with things, and i hope he'll see that to. like i said your poem really touched me and made me think. i hope u get plenty of votes.

thalia

This poem is awsome because this is my life pretty much and it is really sad i am emo so idk if anyone kows if they no wat i am talking bout

Hate

This one almost made me cry, thats how much I loved it.

marisa

this poem really touched me, because that is how i am feeling right now!to be quite frank i dont know why, but i have this feeling every now and then, i feel like i cant take it no more. i have a loverly family that would do anything for me and i boyfirend that loves me to bits, have a few great friends, i guess i have it all but still i feel empty!it might be my selfishness talking louder . dont know really.

michelle

your poem really touched me,maybe because this is how i feel now,i've been depressed a year now and i have thought about suicide a couple of times. and this poem makes me wanna stay alive,because i'd rather not have my friends be in pain,i'd rather be in pain than see people that i love in pain. Thanx for writing this poem, for the people who are too depressed to do anything

not-suicidal-any-more

i woz very suicidal at one point:but then i realised thati cud find hapines in life, and that suicide wasnt the answrr. thankyou.

MAYRA

Very emotional peom. I can only imagine how you must feel. I feel that way sometimes to, about killing myself, but like they say "If you're going through hell keep on going" because eventually after the rain there will be sunshine.

Vicki

I loved this poem because it really grasps not only the way the author feels but the way friends and family would react to something like that, but in the end its only about you, not anyone else.

angie

Melissa

I Loved it!

jazzy

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.

travis

this poem is the same way i feel. i have tried to commite scuidcid by trying to stab myself from my chin up and alot of different ways too. 1 out of ten this poem is a 20

David

I give it a 10. Very deep and sad.

laura

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

smiley

james

i love this poem this reminds me of me

Taylor

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 power go through 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

oh i love this poem, its truely amazing! cuz thats exactely how i feel. i dont have a reason to live but for my friends and family. the rest doesnt make sense for me, i often ask myself why we do the things we do. and i also thought about suicide, but i cant do this to my friends and family cuz i KNOW that i would hurt them a lot. my uncle did that to us *cries* and i dont want my family to go through this again, even if i have to pay with all this suffering and questions from time to time.

mandy

i loved your poem it makes me feel like there is someone out there that used to think about suicide 24/7 and not just me and if you can get through it i can too

TABBATHA

I THINK THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE ATEMTED SUICIDE BEFORE BUT IM STILL HERE. I TOOK 29 SLEEPING PILLS I REMEMBER LIENG THERE ON THE BED VOMITING AND MY EYES MOVING SO FAST I FELT LIKE I WAS DIENG. IT FELT HORIBLE I CRY EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT. IM ALSO A CUTTER IL'L CUT THEN IL'L SIT THERE AND BALL. YOUR RIGHT DEATH IS NOT THE ANSWER ITS FALUIRE.

Kristi

wow. i dont know what more there is to say. This poem sent shivers through my body. I can relate to this poem and im sure a lot of other people can to. Sometimes people dont understand that some want to commit suicide for attention, but others feel its their only way out, ive totally realized that, and i know ive been foolish in my lifetime, but some people dont understand

Chandler

it was realy good it could help kids that feel they arnt wanted that they are because of the friend that ran in. this poem might make them think before the do something so rashional i know it helped me

Sophie

really good. cuts arent the anser, and i figured that out the hard way. EVERYONE, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

Rachel

omg its soo gggggeeerat. i did think about doing that once but i tried to tell myslef it was stupid and life wasnt meant to be easy and i would lose if i took the easy way out. im still really depressed tho. idk if i will ever be happy again. but im gonna get threw it. right now i jus dont no if ne one cares and i doubt if ne one would care about helping me right now even if i am whinning. i loved this poem so much i wish i could find the words to expresse how i feel but theres so many mixed up in my confusing mind.

Tam

Chloe

This is a poem i can relate to because everyone feels this way once in a while but we dont realize how much pain it causes until we fail to do what we planned to.

Sydney

Touching poem. I tried it. Or Rather, I almost did. But stopped in time. Because of my future. The future that was waiting for me. The future that I thought was hopeless. And how much my family would have to spend to bury me. It sounds childish, but I didn't want to add burden to my Father, who has cancer.

sarah k

I really liked your poem. My father-in-law, this past Sat, night,took his life,he left behind 4 wonderful children. Now its too late. Why could'nt someone realize this---before it was too late.

Steven

Hello, my name is Steven and I just stumbled on this page. This poem is the saddest I have evere read. I have read actual suicide notes, and I've listened to moms read there kids suicide notes, but I have never read anything so touching. Many people may disagree there are millions apon millions of different poems but this has to be the best I have ever read. If I could seriously rate this out of 10(10 being the best) I give it 10/10 and I have never given a poem more than an 8. Perfect.

natz

Poem is really good, i love it.

Angel

This poem makes me think that suicide is a way of cheating life even though you can't bear to live on with your life. But if you learn to cope with the depression maybe you can free yourself. This poem taught me something about life.

kristine

I really like this poem, i can relate to it; i write poems like this too. I have a friend who is 2-3 years younger than me who kind of thinks of suicide, and I'm the one who tells her that suicide is not the answer and not the only way but I, myself, thinks of it most of the time. thanks for writing this poem.

malyn

cassie

First of all what a deep poem i love it it makes you feel things keep writing thanks

Jessica

Angell, this poem is another one of the many poems on this sight, that describe the way i feel , and the things i think about all the time. This poem was one of the best i hav ever read. and i write my own poems about cutting, suicide , and depresson, so i know the feelings expressed in this poem.

hannah

i thought this poem was very deep and meaningful. it describes how many people lost or lived have felt. its sensitive to those who choose/chose to go yet lets all others see that the ones who left, or tried, do care though their lives have left inside and out their love remains to those they gave it to.

i have been there b4 but never with a knife but ive been to the point where i just wanted everything to go away and bring my life to an end but its not the way thats not the plan .

courtie

i have been suicidal for 4 years now. i was sexually abused as a child and then when i was 15 (2003) i was raped. i have literally been in the situation as your poem has said. i was drawing blood as a friend walked in. i never knew until then how much it was hurting other people. your poem realy has inspired me to think of life being beautiful and something we shouldnt take for granteed. i prey u didnt write this poem from experience. if u did i know where u are cumin from

Akira

When I was reading your peice, I gave the computer moniter a sad look, and it felt like I was speaking the words myself. I love your work. Please, write more ^_^.

samantha

Christopher

This peom touched me more than others as i too slit my wrists never enough to kill me but just enuf to take away the pain. So i nuderstand why the person did it. It's hard sometimes to go on knowing everyone would be better off if you were ded.

SykoJLeTTe

I took a look at your poem, and the truth is, I have written many poems just as yours are I am like many of the people on this site, that have written things, depressed, and feeling alone, and I understand where you say that you learned not to be that way any longer, and I respect you so much for that, but your poem it has so much in it, and I think it is awesome, even though awesome isn't the word for someone saying that they commited suicide and what not, but I am sure that you understand what I mean, I just want you to know that I really like your poem a lot! Maybe someday I could show you mine!

corina

I like this poem because it reminds me that suicide is not the answer. Talking about your problems with someone is the answer.

Samantha

Hey i can relate i have come close to death trying to kill myself i overdosed and the only thing that kept me living was my brother and my friend who made me realize that if i kill myself i will be putting more people in pain then making them happier then by leaving.

a friend

omg i felt the same way but after i relized it was stupid b/c no matter how hurt,mad,sad,angry, depressed,exc. there are things worth living for like your first love your friends your family i know all those thing can make you mad but at leased your loved.

love can cover all sin and wipe away all tears, but it is hard to see where the love exists when all we see is the color tear stained souls paint the world by.

I loved this poem because I have been in the same situation before. I think it is pathetic that so many of us try doing something so stupid as to do away with our lives when there are many other solutions we can take up instead of that.

fanciface

I feel you. Keep writing.

Kellie

I have felt this way and also have been in this situation and I used to write poems like this. I think that writing poems when I was deppressed and saying what i really felt in them made me feel much better, I think you put much parts of your life into your poems and I belive most of them are very good and I would love to read more of them if you have more.

Dreamz

I love the poem! Suicide was something that sometimes i really really wanna to do, seems it can ends everything, but i never have the courage to do so, like u said, u dun want to be too weak to say sorry to ones who cares. Suicide is a punishment for the one who cares about me, ppl who dun care about me wouldn't care so. very nice poem

Meaghann

I really liked this poem and I cried for hours just thinking about it.Good job Angell.

sarah

Your poem reached out to my heart about the pain of suicide. I thought it was really inspiring and want to use it to show those who suffer from deppresion.

renee

its just the way i like poems to be and its like explaing me

Star

Hi Angell i just loved that poem, i could really feel it, since i sometimes feel the same way. and you know what sometimes poems from the heart and words of thruth can open the eyes of the blind and see what is there. i just love the way you arranged the consequences and and what it can cause. you go girl =)

Suicide is a permenant solution to a temporary problem.

amanda
