How can?

By The_Scavenger

I sit here in the dark
and I listen to the tales.
Tales of darkness and horror
and I cant help but wonder.
why?
How can so many give up?
How can so many be alone?
Why do so many reject help?
Why do so many take their life?
The answer this is definetly not.
cowards and weaklings take this path
not able to cope with lifes rage.
why quit I say; why give up?
because its to tough or to much?
or because there isnt enough?

you may think it is an escape from your pain.
you think nobody loves you or even cares.
you may think it is an escape from pain...
but really it is only the beginning...
for so many...

    make sure your not going to hurt anyone when you die. the only way to find that out is to ask them if they would care. In the end dont go with sucide becuase it is the weaklings way out. I dont know about you but I want to die with some honor.

    This poem is my aspect on sucide. It is a cowards way out. The strong get help. I admit that some problems are to big for one person but giving in to sucide is simply showing your weak. I dont mean to offend anybody all im saying is before sucide make sur
