Letter To The Suicide-A POEM by Nobody: 12:50pm On Dec 14, 2015 |
The poem below is dedicated to students all over the world that are going through hard times on campus.God will see you through.The poem is based on a true story concerning a male student in Ibadan some years ago.There is always a way,if you wait long enough. I learned that you are late victim of what you ate. Tired,weary and burnt-out you opted to check out. We were glad when you got entry to higher school on your way to the future cool. So full of hope and dreams of finishing in the golden streams. You were the object of ridicule by other students who thought it cool to laugh at your thread bare shirts and your worn-out shoes. You kept up the fight hanging on,day by day through the hunger pangs and the misery of unsettled bills. I don't know how it felt to go days unfed. But I was told you wrote the last test with a stomach rumbling with emptiness like lightning roaming the empty skies with no object to strike. Sometimes,you cried in your sleep Like a man reliving fierce battles on distant shores. Rolling from edge to edge in fitful sleep goaded by penury. To your credit you persevered Then your will broke when life's egg you broke on death's hardened sickle. It pained us all for the man who first saw you dangling on the cursed rope came with your letter of scholarship granted by a generous donor who could no longer watch you cry. We could not bring you back But if you could look back You would have seen the help you missed by hair's breadth 'cause you gave up before reaching the tape you were meant to breast. http://heartygleanings..com.ng/2015/12/letter-to-suicide.html |
