For my personal views dealing with suicide which I have called SE (Self Execution) please read and share my book if you believe it can help others. Download The Survivor's Guide to Self Execution right now!

Open Invitation

Welcome to my madness
welcome to my screams
welcome to my sadness
and my misbegotten dreams.
Welcome to my loneliness
as my tears fall like a stream
welcome to my only-ness
where things are not serene.
Welcome to my life
of sadness, love, and hate,
welcome to my mind
where my thoughts become irate.
Welcome to my cabinet
where my pills are stored
welcome to my tablet
where I keep my thoughts in a horde.
Welcome to my insanity
that you can't understand
it just shows your inhumanity
cause your heart's clutched in your hand.
Stanley Victor Paskavich/Stantasyland
