What I want you to do is imagine someone about to kill themselves - you don't know them. You can say one thing to them


I know it's hard and I know you're tired but your life might get better and you might wake up one day and think that this would've been a terrible decision. It might work out and you gotta try!

imagine you're on the verge of suicide. What do you say?\
I'm tired and I don't think my life is worth living. Everything is messed up and nothing works out according to my wishes and I'm tired of having a positive outlook towards my life when everything is happening for the worse

Thanks everyone who has contributed! I have finished it for now but I might add to it at a later date. It's been really interesting getting all of these, mixing them with academic references, other forums/responses and quotes from books!

If you're interested in knowing more about what I'm doing, it's called 'found' poetry, and the idea is to gather a bunch of words/sentences/sources and mash them up so they form a poem. Ish. It's really pushing the boundaries of what's culturally acceptable as 'poetry', but that's kind of what I do these days!

So yeah, this might look weird to you all, it still looks weird for me, but yeah pushing the boundaries. It's in with a bunch of other weird poems as well, might actually post some later

Here's the completed poem!

Show Hide might have a swear word in idk if it's filtered

a conversation
with the end

weary and stale, I’m done
tomorrow’s a new day
find yourself
another soul to cling to
a million people
everything will sort itself out
this is not me
help me
shall we go for coffee?
God has expectations, and makes demands.
Coffee?
Fulfilling
these is for the believer both a commission and a sort of satisfac-
tion
I quit.
I’m so alone
No!
Where are you?
No more.
Don’t you dare
actions speak louder.
unwillingness doesn’t
Stop the world.
Kill yourself.
death is approaching
tell them I’m sorry
this is not it
this is impossible
don’t do it
a common disorder
there is so much more
I believe the fact that the border between distress
and depression is not clearly marked
stop
what if there is nothing
it’s all pointless
worthless piece of crap
this is the end of the road
so insignificant
end of our conversation
goodbye
I’m supposed to be having the time of my life.

And I've done a spoken one, I had to do the transcript but it's meant to be just a spoken poem.
