I'm a human, not a headline.

Taunts and teasing,

Curses and swears.

It's only 8.30,

My life is hell.

A small town boy,

I grew up religious.

With glasses on,

Never short of a smile.

High achiever,

Quiet in class.

Little do they know,

Today is my last.

The clock runs slow,

My fate runs short.

Destiny awaits me,

No turning back.

I update my Facebook.

"Goodbye, no turning back"

I hurry along,

To the bridge after dark.

To take my own life,

No misery at all.

A spot in time,

A blur in the back.

With nothing to lose,

All is lost.

A human he was,

A headline he is.

An end of a life,

Suicide.
