A Sonnet for Suicide Committers

1:06 AM Life , Our World , poetry 0 Comments

Hasn't your brain played on you

Several times, some silly prank?

Such as in an important exam

Making you go completely blank...

And you losing your cherished dream

Of achieving the first rank...

Then into the depths of the ocean

Of depression you sank...

With,to get saved by holding on to

Not even a wooden plank!

You watch, as what had to be yours

Is taken by others with a fierce yank...

No,you aren't yet down and out...

Because your mind is a memory tank!

On which,at any time of utmost need

You can most reliably bank!

You are your own inspiration!

In your determination, never be lank!

Remember, nobody died of hard work!

Victory will surely be on your flank!

Let the machinery of your mental prowess

Roll on ceaseless, shaft and crank!

Let it never shut down

With a loud, unconvincing clank!

Accumulate new ideas, for without them

Your precious mind may go dark and dank!

Stop not till the goal is reached, for when it is,

You'll have only yourself to thank!!!
