I recently (last Thursday) lost a dear friend and brother in arms to suicide. It is hard to digest and understand exactly how he was thinking and feeling. Oddly this gave me a bit of clarity into his mind. I wonder if he felt like this; if this was his own contemplation. I fear we will never truly know. This is a chilling poem to it's core for me. A true incite in to the mind of a person on the edge literally ready to pull the trigger to the gun resting on their temple. I can appreciate the honesty of this poem. I can feel the pain and almost hear his voice. But if he was feeling this he should have reached out to someone...anyone. If you are feeling this. Reach out. There are too many who care to take your life away from them and away from yourself.
