(For #suicidprevention2021 )
I just wanted to share one of my poems from inside my mind when I tried. There shouldn't be a stigma but there is with suicide. I hope my words can show you why it shouldn't so you can help some out.)

No one knows the pain and struggles that the thing called depression that tries to hold me.
No one one sees the darkness that blankets our heart that makes us not want to breathe.
We want to shift the blame that its not you it is me. Find it in your heart to let me go because I just want to leave.
The pain is so deep it makes it hard to breathe. All I know that your words and love I don't deserve because my mind says you're better off without me.

No one knows the pain and struggles
No one knows the pain and struggles
No one knows the pain and struggles

I scream and scream but no one hears me. Give it 5 secs, give it 5 mins maybe one day the feeling of pain will go free.

Struggles and pain can go away but it's up to you to seek help some day. You have a purpose so wait and see. I am a living proof, today I am living my soul purpose and that is taking care of me.

Much love,
From a Suicide Attempt Survivor
