Attempts

Attempts
Many have tried pills got loopy and taken a ride
yet not enough to attain suicide.
Ropes and cords have broken and guns have misfired.
Leaving them to wonder why they haven't expired.
Some cuts were too deep others not deep enough
just leaving a scar dark and so rough.
"Self Execution" I personally believe is not a solution.
And to add to the list the ones who attempt and still exist.
At times end up even in more pain
with questions about why they still remain.
Causing so many to try and try again and again
because they feel like a failure because their life didn't end.
These are the ones we need to support in every way
and be ready to Love and Cherish them twenty four hours a day.
