A letter to a suicidal fool

by Ronald Edwards   Dec 30, 2010


I actually was able to stop another person that came to me seeking help who wanted to end it all. I wrote this to her which made her mad. She yelled and screamed, ranted and raved so much that tears fell from her eyes. She gradually stopped and looked at me realizing that was what I wanted her to do. I wanted her to FEEL , feel any other emotion other than the one that was in her head. She is alive today and wants to live.

So before you go
I feel that I must say,
its easier to end your life
than live within the day.

Words that will be said of you
will not be ones of praise.
They ll talk about the mess you left
or your alcoholic haze.

Die if you must, end your life,
but think about this thought.
God does not inflict our sins
we ll reap from what we ve wrought.

So He has and so you shall
and so we both have done.
God loved the world so very much
that He sent His chosen One.

Who are we to throw away
this life that we were given?
All we need is love and faith
the rest will be forgiven.

    and i have always felt the same way. i always feel all the rest will be forgiven, as long as i am no threat to humanity. Cux God will forgive anything but he won't forgive if you give pain to his children. We are all Equal to him.

    Ron another piece that brings the reader to tears. Glad you were able to help. Sometimes the pain of life is to much to bare. The dark hands of dispair will hold on so tight there is no way to pull yourself up.
    another awesome piece.
