Amazing Poems of Hope: Life Circles: About Suicide, Being There and Being Strong When You Feel That You Can’t Go On.

Amazing Poems of Hope: Life Circles: About Suicide, Being There and Being Strong When You Feel That You Can’t Go On; by Pearldiver. Being young and being hurt, or not knowing things that you feel are really important, can sometimes push you off the edge. The edge is a dark place, where you may believe that the answers to your questions lives, or where your emotions have pushed you to, often without you realizing, often before you have had the chance to consider far better options. Sadly, many of our beautiful, very gifted, young people have robbed us through suicide, of the opportunity to see them live to fulfil their potential and their greatness. If you feel like you can't go on and that you know that you are close to that edge, for any reason; TALK TO A FRIEND or RING Life Line and TALK to someone who does genuinely Care. There is No Way Back From Death - But You Also Need to Be Strong to Live and that personal strength in Choosing to Live, is what makes you Great. One Day you might even become a Great Writer with the right words to change someone's life.

I know personally what losing a friend to suicide means and I know how much time it took to stop asking Why? This is a poem of hope. It is made up of some of the words that I wish I would have had the opportunity to have written then and the courage to say to one of those very special and gifted friends, lost to this world. If you know your children, their friends and your friends well enough, then perhaps you can inspire the positive mindset that those around you require to work through negative issues that have the potential to lead to an unnecessary and senseless suicide. I hope that you can read the signs and not stand back and be afraid to say and show someone near the edge; the genuine power of love. Perhaps the words within, inspired by the loss of a very special wide eyed life can save the life of another who needs to believe in their personal greatness. From the heart; I hope my words here are never needed. Take Care and Thank you for reading my works.

oooo0oooo

Wide eyed child happy

Never alone

Nature here is blooming

Life here is wild and free

Bare feet squish through warm cow pats

Or from the wharf, dangle so aimlessly

o0o

Wide eyed boy

Not knowing alone

Knew all the stars at night

The nesting seabirds come and go

Where gold, sandy grains hide tiny shells

Treasures found, where only he would know

o0o

I have always missed the love I have

For people and places left so far behind

But I can never truly feel alone

As all my pain left there, will always be

For I am truly a happy wide eyed boy

Just can’t help but see, so much life surrounding me

o0o

It’s not true that you should be

Hurt by those who say it’s all your fault

It’s not true that strangers do not care

Don’t be afraid to face things that are not true

Unhappy wide eyed child you are

Never alone if you are true, you'll see all the life, surrounding you

o0o

It’s not true that you should be

Unhappy in a life that you can change

Look inside and know the love we see

Be not afraid to take a wide eyed view

Or take such treasures from within a sad heart

It really is true: That so many people want to love you

o0o

I have always been different than most others

Average people struggle to love and learn great things

Yet great things are merely wide eyed souls, just being

And if you let average deeds break your wide eyed heart

Then you must rise above all the pain

Have the courage to believe, have the courage to just start again

o0o

So to every wide eyed boy or girl

I wrote this poem of hope to let you know

How precious is the life you are yet to find

No matter what tears, or pains have brought you here

Please do this, for all we wide eyed souls, just like you

Believe, just believe, in the real you that we love, not in your fear

And choose life wide eyed one, because we really need you here!

oooo0oooo

Thank you for taking the time to read this work by Pearldiver. Although I have only referred to the loss of young ones from suicide, please believe that I am also equally aware of the level of adult suicides as a result of reasons; other than physical illness. This is a subject that is often swept under the mat in the hope that others do not judge the victims or their families. Bringing such issues into the open, gives them an opportunity to Not Be Avoided and in that respect, action rather than apathy, can and often does save lives. I hope that I have not offended anyone by writing this article and poem; but I am not nor will ever be, an apathetic soul. Take Care.

And if you feel that Your Writing can create something positive in this world, then Join Me Here and make a difference. You may become a Master like JKR Potter, just by starting here with others who will support your efforts.  Believe and Have Courage to Act on That Belief.

As Communicators we can all make a positive difference in our own special ways. That unfortunately does not apply to those who would silence the communicators as a result of their efforts to censor 'Real' information on issues like teen suicide. Interestingly, those parties were at some stage in their shallow lives, also a teenager! Get Real... Tell It As It Is!! Let people know the truth... don't cover it up, or deny others the opportunity to understand aspects of life (and death) that we all need to know to fulfil our potential.

As an example: I tried a publisher's rhyming tool once, in an attempt to find real words that rhymed with the word 'Suicide' and found that I was lead away from writing about the subject by that publisher. As a wide eyed soul, I refuse to let others tell me that I can not be honest and tell it as it is! I can, I will and THAT is my little piece of positive difference that helps counter those whom would mislead us all with the vested interests that they hold in silence! I thought at the time this was the most appropriate response to a publisher who stopped writers from standing up and making the difference.. Let's just say that this is a bonus poem on the subject called:

Try one of the other functions

How ironic it truly seems

That when I seek a simple rhyme in life

For the dasher of so many dreams

A simply rhyme to ease this strife

From an act that left us shocked and pained

Why? How long has SUICIDE been around?

Surely if we talk about it, something will be gained

I’m so, so….

Sorry, no perfect rhymes were found.
