Idle Hands

By suicidalsecrecy

Enraged at the thought of dying at the hands of another man
Better to die by my own hand
Suicide is a death sentence you yourself give
Only problem is family won't forgive
Craziness is a death sentence itself
Sanity is higher up on the top shelf
Majority of the world is crazy too
But everyone looks always to you
Why? Because you are the poster child
Freakish, insane, psychotic and wild

I can't really relate to the feeling expressed here about being an outcast, or freakish, or even mentally unstable. Somehow I've always known myself deep inside, and made all of my choices with the certainty that I was willing to accept the consequences. When I went through the lowest point of my life, realizing that the one I chose to give my full measure of love to had cast it and me away, I truly wanted to die. It would have been easy for me to do that, but there was one problem, I still care too much about the people who care about me. I would not bring myself to hurt them, even if it meant living in constant pain with virtually no hope of change. I gave my love and I live with the consequences, but I will not hurt others to make it easy on myself. Suicide isn't hurting yourself, it's hurting others. Maybe I'm also arrogant enough to be willing to be broken, but still not willing to give up. I do agree that the majority of the world is crazy, but I refuse to ride with them on the way to the cliff.

Very good point, YPP. People usually try to make themselves feel better by pointing out how messed up someone else is while ignoring their own faults. I'd rather be a freak than a hypocrite.
A former member wrote: Makes me think of the quote, "you can't fire me because I quit." It starts me thinking about the point of view of the person contemplating suicide and the aftermath. I myself have thought about this and about what my family would say. My mother crying and my dad very emotional saying, "you stupid idiot, why would you do that?"

All the beauty lies in insanity. The sane ones are boring...
