Suddenly They Do
February 18, 2022
Oh I sit in a chair
Scratching my brow
Wondering how
This will all work out
Mimic a call I’ve called once before
Are your ears clogged
Or do you not know?
Oh the pain and hate
Of the words we display
Causes some to fall
In an unnecessary place
Oh how far must we go
Until we all know
The importance of one’s presence
The importance of being heard?
Only some understand
Only some read between the words
Oh how abundant
Oh how peachy
Oh how odd
To those whom thought nothing of it at all
But suddenly they do
Suddenly they do

Thank you! I'm actually in a much better place, and I figured putting this out might have some people relate and to anyone whos looking in comments, if you've ever felt this way you actually really are never alone. There is always someone there for you, you just have to let them in :)
This poem is really powerful that It gave me goosebumps...
I love the anaphora in the last stanza...★★★
Anyway, the important matter, whatever happens in your life, do not commit suicide because the chance of a human birth is 1 in 400 trillion and you are a lucky person to get the chance. And the chance of you being alive right now is 1 in 102,685,000. So, whenever you feel such a thought, remember this, and NEVER let those emotions make you give out the lucky charm you got...And if you need help with anything, we're always there...

I wrote this piece after I had attemted suicide. I was in an unhealthy place, and after it happened it felt like people suddenly seemed to care.
