Suicide An Eternal Pain - By Amanda Evans

Suicide An Eternal Pain – By Amanda Evans

Suicide is the one form of death that has quite a stigma attached to it. It brings with it
a feeling of shame and betrayal. It is not the same as saying to someone "My father
died in a car crash" nor is it the same as saying someone died from a heart attack.
Having to explain that someone took their own life can be quite a difficult thing to do
as we have no explanation as to why this dreadful occurrence took place.

Suicide amongst young men is currently growing quite significantly around the world
and I hope that by reading my poem people can see the effects that suicide has on
those that are left behind.

I have dedicated my poem below to the memory of my father the late James Evans
who sadly took his own life on the 29th October 1990. May his soul find eternal
peace.

Suicide

The power to suppress
The pain and the loss
The tears and the sadness
The grief inside
Lying there
Dormant
Sleep please, oh sleep
The memories suppressed
No power to deal
With the pain that you caused
The gap no one can fill
Your selfish act
Leaves me broken
Afraid to love
Afraid to live
Through suppression I survive
Suicide not only killed you
