Why Suicide?

by Levi   Feb 2, 2006


Why am I sitting in my room with a razor in my hand?
Why am I thinking of cutting myself and watching my wrist bleed?
Why does it seem like the World's turned on me,
and this the only thing I see that can set me free?
Why am I so torn and lost inside?
Why must I think these things?
Why can't life just go back to the way it was,
before I thought these things?
Thinking about it just brings back all my pain.
So I slit my wrist and watch my body bleed.
All my thoughts have gone away.
I’m finally gonna be free.

Why am I sitting in my room with a razor in my hand?
Why am I thinking of cutting myself and watching my wrist bleed?
Why does it seem like the World's turned on me,
and this the only thing I see that can set me free?
Why am I so torn and lost inside?
Why must I think these things?
My room goes dark, it’s all closing in.
Blanking out I hit the floor.
Death has taken me I no longer feel a thing,
but then again death isn't what I thought it'd be.
I can no longer do anything,
no longer think,
no longer feel,
no longer love,
no longer be.
I think I've made a mistake.
I’ve done a stupid thing...

Why did I slit my wrist, let the razor go so deep?
Why did I wanna leave them all, and watch my body bleed?
Why did I think those things?
Why did I let this happen to me?.....
Suicide is what I've become; now I'll never be able to fix what I've done.

Why was I sitting in my room with a razor in my hand?
Why was I thinking of cutting myself and watching my wrist bleed?
Why did it seem like the World had turned on me,
and that I saw this as the only thing that could set me free?
Why was I so torn and lost inside?
Why did I think those things?
I wish I didn't. I wish I was still living.....
Why did I slit my wrist?
Why did I suicide?
Why did I think those things?......
Why suicide?
Why me?

    And this the only thing I see that can set me free?
    `Maybe my grammar is turning on me, or my eyes are hallucinating, but I feel like there should be a "is" after the "this" and before the "the." *shrugs. I find that different places words differ ... so maybe I am wrong, but at the moment, it doesn't make complete sense.

    Why must I think these things?
    Why can't life just go back to the way it was,
    before I thought these things?
    `The repetition of "things" bothers me dearly, though I feel like you did that on purpose... I just can't figure out, what for?

    So I slit my wrist and watch my body bleed.
    All my thoughts have gone away.
    I’m finally gonna be free.
    `These words were like a whisper as I read them... They're sort of creepy; haunting, and they make me feel like ... I can understand the pain and why you (the person speaking in this poem) chose to want to die. It's ... scary beautiful.

    Death has taken me I no longer feel a thing,
    but then again death isn't what I thought it'd be.
    `I love these lines! I can't explain why, but they just seem so clever to me, and they made me smile in such a sadly questioning piece.

    I can no longer do anything,
    no longer think,
    no longer feel,
    no longer love,
    no longer be.
    `Extremely effective. That last choice is brilliant, and emphasizes the wrong choice.

    Overall, I liked it. The flow wasn't perfect, and all that technical crap makes this piece not as "amazing" when you're looking at that kind of stuff -- but the message and the way you put it through with the repetition of those same few lines continuously was extremely effective. Your words were potent, and though I felt like your ending could've been stronger -- it was ... haunting, and I don't think these questions will leave my mind for quite a while.

    Well done .

    The repetition effectively grew your turbulent message. You described well “suicide’s” finality, and without pervading the course of its reason, found within despondency the hopelessness of fatality.

    I most enjoyed the fact that you introduced ‘regret’. In saying that, “Why Suicide?” was an original of its kind; compared to all the other poems about suicide.
