If you need emergency assistance in the United States, call Suicide Prevention at (800) 273-8255 or the Veterans Crisis Line at (855) 238-5745. Otherwise call 911 or your local emergency number.

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!

This is a specially formatted version of the Survivor's Guide for PDF readers so you can read it on almost any device. Check your app store for a free PDF reader.

It is also available in paperback at Amazon.com. Buy one for a friend (especially one without a computer or cell phone!).

Burdens

Burdens
One bad Apple might spoil the whole pie
Steer clear of those people that make you sigh.
They can drain you from within
and put you in a battle that you'll never win.
A battle that makes you want to say go away.
And want to tell them "I don't care what you say".
That I've got my own problems to attend to
and I don't have time to listen to you.
But you know as well as I do
there's a part of me and you.
That makes us curious even though we might not care.
because there might be some worth in problems they share.
Maybe a short cut to avoid some of their pain.
From the crosses they've bared as they played life's game.
