The Suicide Note (The Counsel) Poem by Falana Zion

The Raging of A Drunk Mind

Is this the life I've chosen to be
Where lives are weeping on the street
Where the sky is always dark,
Pretentiously proving to be white

I'm sitting on the fence
Preparing to dive by in to death
Everything looks stormy, cloudy and dark
For all in life are by fight and chance

I've casted my heart on my face
My heart I've sealed without a brace
For life to me is more or less a fight
And everything within the stage are all opaque

On this one cornered Earth
My thoughts won't last a night
My dreams and eyes are no more within my sight
For my soul is giving up to life

I'm on my way driving ashore
For no purpose I was born
These are my drunken words
I'm restless, lonely, aimless and drunk

Give It A Chance

Oh man of raging mind
Take your indefatigable chair
Clean your raging mind
To learn and give life a second chance

I speak not vainly but out of experience
That whatever life has to offer comes with lots of inconvenience
Still put a smile up your face
Lest the raging of your mind puts you down

I speak again not out of compulsion
But cause I have seen that all there is to life is competition
I wouldn't say you fight
But fight hard the pain, lest your mind go mad

Think not about the end
Lest the problems cloud your thoughts
Even the singing of the nightingale is enough
For you learn and never give up

Sit up, fasten your sit belt
Take a walk into the market square
See for yourself lives drunk in misery
Then you would see what golden opportunity lies at your feet

I certainly do not know what the beginning might have been
But I know there will be no peace in the abyss
Keep saying no to suicide
Lest deep in hades they drag you down
