    • I often wonder about those who comit suicide,if at the point of no return,they reconsider their options.
      Well written piece about a subject that needs much more open discussion.
      🙏

      • Thank you..and thats a great question..I think some if not most might do..maybe there’s that brief moment of reflection or introspection where you realize suicide wasnt the solution but its not reversible..its a very dynamic and complicated matter for sure..and more discussion is def needed. Its a sad and tragic part of life that many ppl(family and friends)have dealt with..a haunting experience for loved ones for sure..thank you for commenting..I appreciate it

    • Perhaps in his contrition he realized a schmaltzy and powerful truth — “you live once then you’re dead forever”. I cannot recall where I read it but that line has helped me stay around for 8 years. The simple things… you know? Thank you for sharing this incredible write!

      • Thank you for sharing that powerful line..its so true and straight to the point..it puts life in perspective and teaches us life is valuable..and that time is the most precious commodity and we shouldn’t take it for granted..cherish every day..I appreciate your comment and glad you liked

    Ohm of Home

    Coming to terms with the self, in ways unique to the self days over days. Seekers seek the self. Stealth in a wealth of shadows. The mist of this hallucinatory height Is made of: Mountain. This pen a font of Fountain. Chips pushed forward lips speaking onward to the seeking: Stalwart Poet. You fuckin know it. World I Set on Fire ***Cipher Poems***
