Suicide On The Beach

He hears voices. He battles with choices – Of life and death; Of life after death. He isn’t asking for more; To be loved and cared for, To be accepted and not cast out Like the outlaw which he is not. The hurt, the pains – he can no longer withstand.

He battles with choices –
Of life and death;
Of life after death.

He isn’t asking for more;
To be loved and cared for,
To be accepted and not cast out
Like the outlaw which he is not.

The hurt, the pains – he can no longer withstand.
The snide remarks, the world’s demand –
All too much,
Like a rushing wind that would sweep him off his feet simply with a touch.

“Hear me! Hear me!”
He screams.
But we don’t all listen.
Do we?

The poem trails the depressing journey of a male persona who is evidently burdened with the responsibilities accompanied with life and family.

Contrary to popular beliefs, he is weak and lost – gradually losing himself to the unending pit of a dark and depressed mind.
