They called me a lot of things in my day, but hero was never one of them.
Would they have thought differently if I saved someone from a burning building?
Or put my life on the line some other way.
I was the “problem child” who never make anything of himself no matter what he did.
I wonder i they see the monster they have created in telling me these things, or even if they care?
Of coarse now it doesn't matter , as they carry me away in sorrow to be placed back in the bosom of Mother Earth t be consumed by Her once again..
It doesn't matter now for all I am now is a cold marble slab with two dates.
They get the last laugh as I rot away just another number for them to add up, just another suicide.

Unsung hero
would you see
yourself as a "zero".

The opinions of others
can stab and can wound.

Misinterpreted, misconstrued, or truly understood yet reviewed in a nasty demeaning way
by self
for self
to self
about self
defensive or offensive
constructive or destructive

All heroes
unsung or sung from sea to sea
meet and keep, don't like and change, and sort through
the being of
myself, I, and me.

not everyone feels that way about you Sweetheart


some of us really love and admire you for all that you are


and we see you in a much different light than some of the others do

that is so beautiful


different kind of wench

that poem really wasn't about me...but a friend of mine.

nice

well, that is good but very sad for your friend



You guys better not consider suicide


with all that you've been through


for there are many of us who would be devastated


we love you soo very much


and you have so much life left to live

Thats right

If I thought it was about you, I would have been much more aggressive and emailed too.

Dear Sweet William.. ..Brave Soldier


i know you have been through so much

and in our phone conversations & IM

you have only touched the tip of the iceburg


but even though i am so far away & much older


and even though i have different philosophies


i am here for you & i have so much love and respect for you


and i don't want you to ever ever forget that



for it is eternal for always and forever

My friend Joe was 16 when he committed suicide with me in the room

he said

"promise me that you will never be like everyone else"

I had no idea what he was doing until he pulled the trigger....

To this day i have never been like everyone else.

Oh Sweet William.



Ohhhhhh Baby Boy I'm soo sorry


You are now all grown up yet still soo young


& You have seen more in your short years


than many of us would ever see in ten lifetimes



How i love you & my heart breaks for you

Wic, this is obviously heavy on your mind. Suicide is a rough call for all involved, the one committing it and the ones who knew them and are left with the knowledge they couldn't stop the pain or didn't see how deeply the pain went. I can only scratch the surface of understanding the idea of suicide because I was too much of a control freak to go through with it. I kept thinking about the future of my kids and how they would be raised if others had to step in and take my place. Joe (I'm guessing) didn't have that pull. He knew you would understand his words to you. How were you "not like everybody else" for him? I think you already answered that because you honor his words and his belief in you with every breath you take consciously or not.

Much love and light, Cowboy.........................

This is amazing Will!

You may not have been talking about yourself but you need to know you are a HERO!

Things happen in life, sometimes for reasons unknown. However, like my boss once told me, the universe never makes a mistake. Nice Write.

yes, William you certainly are an amazing HERO


and i am so soooo sorry about your young friend


and for his Family who are left without a Son & Brother


and i don't agree with all that "universe never making a mistake " philosophy


maybe in some regards , but not this one


i don't think people are meant to take their own lives


especially ..


when they are soo young & healthy


and have a whole life ahead of them

No It isn't right to take your own life, however, sometimes things occur, but there is some reason behind it. Maybe Will can now better relate or help someone else in a similar situation.

Its like taking the good from the bad.

Dont do it Wiccan

okay


Thank you soo much for explaining it better
