Your Need To Let Go Comments

Suicide is such a terrifying word of chosen finality. I can not judge those who choose this outlet, for I'm not in their skin, mind and spirit. The sad thing is that when they decide to end their pain, they end up passing it to those who love them. May they who choose to leave us in this way, Rest in Peace!

You most certainly pulled me into this poem and such pain is real for so many. The last straw when all seems absolutely hopeless and often it quite an unselfish act on the part of the sufferer as sometimes they are trying to make a better way ahead for those left behind and money is often the focus. I recall the wife of a gent took such measures when haunted by a huge bill and their was no way of paying it off, she killed herself so the money tied up in her name could be left to her husband to pay the bill. Yes that was not a cowards way out but rather a person who loved deeply and was extremely unselfish. We never understand fully the pain of others as we don't walk in their shoes. I love realistic poems and you have painted a trail of reality, thank you for your pen.....

Beautiful yet sad flow of words. When no hope is left in life, a person may take extreme step. Beautiful lines... We loved you then We love you now Today, For always.... Our Tomorrow

Suicide is the coward's way of ending whatever tribulation one is going through in life. Whatever the situation is one must learn to keep faith. Faith Keeps Those That Keep The Faith - Mother Teresa. A lovely poem, though tragic but well articulated and nicely penned. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Great piece of work. Thanks for sharing this poem with us. E.K.L.

A very poignant write indeed on someone who having lost all hopes of life had to take extreme step..........

A very moving write on someone who quit life! How one hopes in vain, such people could be helped in their most trying hours and had prevented the tragedy! But they have retired from life, leaving behind a handful of sad memories!

Very lovely write, Lyn! Sorry for your loss!

Outstanding write Lyn so moving and heartfelt with the pain etched into every line as you explore the question 'Why'?
