Today, While They Applaud Themselves

Anti-suicide pro-
grams have a way
of inspiring
me to finally
commit suicide,

so I need to stay
away, left puzzl-
ing on why they
must aggressively
market con-
tinuing

with this
life, remind-
ing me of
my slimy
despair.

    So often, for me, reading and talking about my mental illness brings me closer to it and acting IN it.

      This is a truth, I think. We need to work in the solution, whatever that is. Thanks for your comment.
