Contemplating Suicide Poem by Marilyn Shepperson

The lonely road. Suicide is not the answer! ! Hope lies ahead of you. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Poets write about both the dark and the light. This poem to me expresses feelings related to depression and the struggle to see the light. I hope you will keep writing and reflecting and looking for the dark places and also the places full of light. Peace.

It's all over now Oh no, its not! Call out to God and see if He says so!

A defeatist approach to life. However, after the bend, there a clear view. Life is bi-polar

Wonderful poem with tinge of sadness.Congratulations Marilyn for being member of the day Col Muhammad Khalid Khan

Startling and compelling in its clarity, this poem is a powerful reminder that the journey of life has many different stretches through which we all must pass, some so exceedingly more difficult than others. Sometimes the loneliness and seeming hopelessness of our current bend in the road makes us question the value of the journey as a whole. I congratulate your willingness to share the depth of the emotion you were experiencing here, and the powerful beauty with which you expressed it. I, too, have traveled this particular stretch of road. I, too, remember the pain and loneliness. Through the beauty of your words, your heart speaks to many hearts. We look forward to more of your writing, Marilyn, as you unflinchingly share with us the beauty of your journey- the dark, shadowy places, as well as the rosy, sunlit stretches. Well done, Marilyn.

Poet's cleverness to portrait the defeated metal state in real form has to be acknowledged and appreciated. This clearly shows how talented MS is as a poet and I am sure she has the power as well to make others thinking. Let's have more of similar types from you. Thanks Mrilyn for sharing a wonderful poem with us.
