Suicide (Free Verse) -Disclaimer-

Disclaimer:
Please do not read this, if you get easily triggered.
I'm only trying to poetically describe this pandemic that has taken so many lives and has become such a stigma for those out there who truly suffer.

Suicide (Free Verse)

800,000.
This is the rough estimate
Of suicidal deaths per year.

Tick,
Tock.
Tick,
Tock.

Do this 40 times,
Per second....
For each death tallied,
Upon suicides notch.

Tick,
Tock.
Tick,
Tock.

The darkness creeps in....
I can't breath.
The devil is the only one who speaks to me now...
He/She/It,
Has become the one,
Who truly understands.

Tick,
Tock.
Tick,
Tock.

What are you waiting for?
Stop being a coward.
If anything-
Since you are nothing...
Be a part of a statistic,
Which is something.
Even if this is something,
That people think is so small.

Tick,
Tock.
Tick,
Tock.

30 seconds now...
It's your turn.
What are you waiting for?
Can't you see?
That I'm waiting for you?

Tick,
Tock.
Tick,
Tock.
Tick,
Tock........

39 seconds now.
Let's not repeat this same ol' song and dance.
For the echo of this beat,
Is enough to drive you insane.

.........

Tick-

........

(Bang!)
