Suicide ain't no solution
When lifeĀ
seems all hopeless
still don't you looseĀ
all scope of hope
for there'sĀ
this thingĀ
danglingĀ
in the air,
Reach outĀ
for God's sturdy rope.
For howĀ
sure canĀ
you beĀ
that
death willĀ
take youĀ
to a better fate
What ifĀ
you areĀ
plungedĀ
into aĀ
plightĀ
muchĀ
worse where there's no turningĀ
back at any rate!
In times of trials and tribulations invoke Him
Or your chances of contentment remain slim
You too haven't been infallible and above all blame,
that you wish for a perfect rosy life
The excuses for suicide are usually so lame,
Better enjoy your share even so in strife.
DonotĀ
friend, plan to commit this actĀ
just to invoke another's pity and regret.
The pity and regret will come and goĀ
Besides it soothes no decomposed,
and a large slice of your lifeĀ
May lie in waste, your soul disposed
Why rush for thy grave,Ā
It may further gloom.
Suicide's ain't a way outĀ
fellow human friend.
Pray a godless way ,not sendĀ
you unto this doom.
You haven't right to bringĀ
any life to its end.
And it's probable that allĀ
those years
Ā that you now wish to recklesslyĀ
discard in dust
Ā have something bright ahead,
Ā got to be a ray ofĀ
hope
Extinguish it not if in GodĀ
you trust!

Thanx so much for your thoughts on this.
niw I'm curious to read yours too.
A great and powerful readĀ
Well done
Thanx for the comment, hope the poem really helps someone here too, it helped others in my past acquaintances.
A great message. I like how you show no sympathy for the act but show understanding that hope is within us to be reason to carry on.
Great write my friendĀ
Warmest thanx im so glad n relieved that u find that this is strictly to discourage suicide thus a bit in a reprimanding sisterly tone but all in god faith of being a well wisher that i try to be.
It does show that you have an honest intention towards discouraging suicide.
there is a balance between tough and soft love, and i think you expressed a clear position between the two.

There's nothing or no one worth taking your life over, S.zaynab.kamoonpury.
If I may, I'd like to add that even during our darkest hour we are never alone.
This contemporary free-style poem basically says the same thing, only you have stated it here much better and far more poetically than I have in this review.
Exceptional poem!
Please, do drop by and read my work sometime, when you have the chance.
My door is always open.
Have a lovely weekend.

Thanx soo much for an understanding comment, indeed we r never alone unless we choose to be by being atheistic or sth.
i wud luv to visit your poems too.Ā
You're more than welcome and I look forward to your comments.

I wound up in the psych ward for 45 days after an attempt when I was 24 years old!!..... Trust me when I say...... that after spending time inside with a large number of truly Depressed and Angry people...... the nightmare of being in there is a VERY strong motivation for not wanting to go back again!!...... especially if yourĀ suicide attempt was more of a 'cry for help' than an actual leap into the abyss!!...... Regardless, this is such a great and noble thing to do for your fellow human beings..... you never know when these words of yours might find a person precisely when they need to hear or read them!!......ALL STARS!!..... well done my friend!!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo ???āāā„
Oh nooh that's saddening to hear, but so glad u were discouraged from it somehow, we would always need to read your fine poems so keep going.
thanx soo much for your lovely super comment n I luv emojis.
This is so powerfully crafted and well devised around such an important issue that needs to be discussed more often instead of hidden behind closed doors. Thank you for writing this and I hope that this will genuinely inspire other people to do the same a you and raise awareness in such an artistic way because it makes it more accessible.Ā

Thanx u read the quote too, thanx so very much for the feedback.
Thank you for liking my poem...my friend, you try and reach the cliff standers of our world...your mission is so valiant...if you reached one person drowning in the sea of despair, you have done so much...your attempts are a star of beauty, S. Zaynab!
Warmest thank for the comment and acknowledgement. Cheers.
Dear S. zaynab,
I just read about a young man
Who wrote a life-changing book
For he too, had attempted suicide
When bleak his whole life looked
.
He jumped off of a real high bridge
But as he was falling through the air
He knew that he'd made a big mistake
And about his life, heĀ cared
.
Unbelievably, he survived his fall
Now he has dedicated his whole life
To preventing others from the same mistake
And to counteract their strife
Peace and Love,

Another perfect poem, great on its own. Really wise and imparts lesson in an awesome way. I think poet u should add these lil poems to your folder homepage site here as here they mightn't be read and people would be deprived from their benefits. Cheers Ā and thanks soo much.
Dear S. zaynab,
I wrote this response just for you, but I can see now, that it might be beneficial to bereft others.Ā So, this week I will edit it a little, possibly add another quatrain, and publish it, giving you credit for the inspiration, which I thank you so much for.
Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
Indeed it will be beneficial to all and its your original reflections and creation really. best wishes dear poet!
