I write about suicide attempt prevention from time to time, from the perspective of someone, me, who has spoken to the soul of a dear friend who suicided and how that conversation helped me get through a severe episodic depression the following year without my suicidal thoughts becoming ideations nor attempted. My most complete essay on these matters to date https://medium.com/illumination/dizain-of-suicide-72bcde4dc8d8 starts with this poem I wrote:
"Suicide provides no relief at all
On ledge imagining end to my pain
Pavement streaming toward me will not end fall
Just before break solution becomes plain
My penance to help others to refrain
Thought my loved ones better off without me
Truth’s too likely they’ll header into sea
Had I known that death cannot be cheated
Baring deep secrets would cure malady
Death would not have left loved ones defeated"
