Here is a piece from Oyesanya Mosopefoluwa. It is mind blowing stuff. Read to the end. His write ups would also be posted here from time to time.
They called it the Coward's way out
Ade had never claimed to be brave
It seemed to be the only way out
Of this dreary void that was his existence
Plagued with fiscal holes and physical woes
He owed a banker, the cancer owned him
Robbing Peter only to get duped by Paul
His body broken from this never-ending ordeal
He was alone
Cut off from family and friends
The prodigal son who forgot his way home
Doomed to suffer in solitude
The time was near
Ade's sun was about to burn out
Death was soon to be his new way of life
It seemed easier than drowning in the cesspool that was his life
Crossing over the railing
His heart pulsing in tune to the crashing of the foreboding waves
Breathing in his last as he jumped
Ade went meekly into the dark night
and embraced the dying of his light.
P.S: While the events in this piece may denote suicide, I am in no way encouraging, excusing or defending suicide. It is my belief that it is mostly a grievously permanent solution to an oftentimes temporary problem. I just attempted a key-hole view into what probably goes on in the mind of people who attempt or commit suicide.
