Suicide Poem?
Here's one for all you literate educated bods on here. About a year ago I can remember reading about an infamous poem either about or encouraging suicide. Do any of you know of this poem?
Cheers for your help.

Re: Suicide Poem?
Was it anything to do with Everton in Europe?

I'm as predictable as a Crouch goal.

Re: Suicide Poem?
It could be THIS ONE
I personally had a chuckle at the link three off the bottom on HERE, not sure exactly why. Perhaps the irony of it?

Re: Suicide Poem?
I can't understand how any body could consider suicide.
It's the last thing I'd do.

Re: Suicide Poem?
I agree. I'd rather die than commit suicide.

Re: Suicide Poem?
Suicide is the easy way out of a hard life. And only the weak do it!
My best friend did it while she was pregnat.
I was more angry at what she just did then upset!

Utter tripe. It's about depression and mental illness, not "the easy way out". It's not a rational process; people quite literally see no alternative to killing themselves.

Re: Suicide Poem?
Gotta love people who have no concept of another's suffering so they automatically label it "the easy way out" or that they are "angry". Something to be angry about is the crushing blow of mental illness, one that never ceases and permeates every waking hour of the afflicted. Mental illness is a disability. It's easy to judge when you have no concept of another's experience.

Re: Suicide Poem?
It's not an easy thing to deal with in a "one answer fits all" way but I understand what LiverpoolFreak is saying.
For some it is a cowardly way to get rid of problems.

Re: Suicide Poem?
I understand what Paul & You know it is saying. However, I dont mean to generalise and say that whoever does it is weak.
It's just my friend who recently did it a year ago did it because her baby's daddy cheated on her. Plus she had other issues and i guess the cheating must have been the last straw. She had friends she could talk too, hell she had alot of friends that she could have got help from. There was help all around her and she couldnt have used it? What are friends for? Couldn't she see that?
She was going through depression, and i reckon that alot of people who has gone through as much or worst as she did made it out without sucicide.
I thought she was tough enough to do so, unforunately she proved me wrong.
And I still believe that mental illness and depression can be conquered and doesnt have to result by taking out your own life!
Millions of people have conquered why couldn't the others who decided to take their own life.

That's like saying, "Loads of people recover after heart attacks, so why can't everyone?"
Regardless of what you believe, the facts are that very little is understood about mental illness and its treatment when compared to the treatment of equally pernicious physical illnesses. My mate suffers terribly from depression and on one occasion he literally couldn't leave the house to pick up the anti-depressants that the rational part of his mind knew would help him.
You are seeing this through the filter of a healthy mind, so it makes no sense. To someone who's mentally ill, your view of the world is equally as alien. They can't conceive of how you cope.
Without wanting to be patronising, maybe thinking of what happened to your friend as an illness that the doctors couldn't cure would help you deal with her death.

Agreed. The heart is a physical entity, the kidneys are physical entities, as are the lungs etcetera but the brain? A lot of people still perceive the mind/brain through the eyes of cartesian dualism and they think that the brain isn't made of physical matter. They mightn't state this but if we take their beliefs that they should "shake it off" or "pull themselves together" then they are in essence saying that there is no physical basis for their problems. The brain can degenerate and go wrong with equal, if not greater, frequency than any of the physical organs. I'd probably say that there was a greater likelihood to suffer from a chronic malady of the brain, in any given lifetime, than any other organ - if only because of its relative complexity. Thomas Szasz would no doubt agree with Liverpool Freak.
