Salute To Suicide Poem by Percy Dovetonsils
Salute To Suicide
Not that I plan to,
but it’s nice to know
it’s there
if I
happen
to
need
it.
Of course,
there’s always the possibility
I’ll get in a terrible crash
and get paralyzed from the
nose down
and some fool
will save me
and I’ll end up
in an ICU
for 10 years
with tubes
running
in and out
and no way
besides Morse code blinking
to tell my friends
to suffocate me
with a pillow
and if they
don’t,
well,
I’ll just have to gut it out.
Very good read. I can't say that I enjoyed it, beause how can you say something about such a depressing topic. Rather, I'm very glad I got the chance to read it. It speaks and relates to me. I hope you find the light, and if at all you do, promise you'll show me the way.

Trust me. Suicide is no answer, just in case all yours fall short of your goal. Yes, you would be spared from blicking your eyes for the rest of your life, but it would be living. Aim for living instead of planning an escape. I am a survivor. I could be a victim after my son killed himself. But I choose to survive with God's help. Fortunately our son does not know of the agony his actions have caused all of us. We will never be the same. Our lives basically had to start over. Please tell me you would not want to wish this on anyone. Learn from my experience and choose to live the life God gave you.
