Every 15 minutes…
Someone takes their own life.
Someone feels like they can’t go on.
Someone feels like they can no longer control their actions.
Someone feels like they must gain control over the one thing that they can.
Then Every 15 minutes…
A heart will break.
A friend is gone forever.
A dream will never be realized.
A future will go blank.
Every 15 minutes…
Someone feels ignored.
Someone feels abandoned.
Someone feels completely helpless.
Someone will act on their thoughts.
Then Every 15 minutes…
A dream will die.
A deep void opens.
A mother will never again comfort the child who needed them.
A father will wonder why.
Every 15 minutes…
Someone is not able to seek the proper treatment.
Someone thinks everything seems so pointless.
Someone will break a promise.
Someone will succeed in taking their own life.
Then Every 15 minutes…
Someone will feel the pain of no touch, no voice, no love.
Someone will look across a table to a vacant chair.
Someone will lie awake at night, unable to sleep.
Someone will feel it’s somehow their fault.
Every 15 minutes…
Someone wants to run.
Someone wants to hide.
Someone wants to cry.
Someone wants to die.
Every 15 minutes…
Someone wants to hear your laughter.
Someone wants to wipe away your tears.
Someone wants you to know, you are not alone.
Someone does not want you to die.

Beautiful poem. Thanks for posting that for us all!

that was so good it really touch my heart keep doing the good work

i really liked that poem , it speaks to those that are contimplating suicide. Suicide is never the answer, when ever you need to run away, run away but no so far no one can find you . Perdure, i really like the way you express your feelings in a straight forward analogy of suicide and the remorse.
Thank you

That was a damn fine poem,it really reaches out to you.I know what its like to have feelings like these,and like your poem stares,other people would be affected and i love everyone too much to do anything stupid.Your poem really could help alot of people, have you ever thought of appealing to organisations who help with this stuff?

I do, I think it's excellent.,

Do you write a lot?

Wow, what a touching poem. Excellent and keep writing, you obviously have something special inside, don't waste it and keep going.

that was a good poem

I am too selfish to ever commit suicide!!

But it is a really nice poem.. very well written!
