His End

Thank you for reading my poem. I wrote this because a friend of mine committed  suicide on January 8th of this year. He did some horrible and unforgivable things in his life and that’s why I distanced myself from him. I tried to help him through it to try to get him to realize his wrongs. He knew what he was doing was wrong but he decided to try to drink away his pain. I guess his pain got too much for him so he decided it was best for him to die. Because of his past, I probably shouldn’t miss someone like that, but I do. 
If you are feeling upset and feel it would be better to just end it all, please talk to someone. You may feel pain now, but that will go away eventually. But know that if you end it, the pain you feel will come back 10x as hard for those who care about you. I know and hope that you don’t want others to feel that way. I’ve been told that “suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem” so please, talk to someone. If you feel like you have no one to talk to, I am here. A complete stranger to you is willing to listen to your problems, without judgement, and give you advice... if that doesn’t show people out there care, I don’t know what does.
Thank you again for reading, and I hope my message will enlighten others. Please, if you see someone who looks like they need to talk, offer your ears to listen. Offer your words to help. Open your arms to hug and you shoulders to cry on. If you need this help, please accept it. 
Its heartbreaking that this is an issue. I don’t want anyone to go through the pain of suicide. It’s not only the one thinking it that hurts, but the others who care about you.
