Suicide is not a stereotype.
Not everyone has a family,
Nobody who lives for their care,
Nobody who wants them around,
Nobody who helps them through life,


Suicide is not a stereotype.
Not everyone has friends,
Not a person there for a simple hug,
Not a person existing for a reassuring look,
Not a person around to leave the words,


Suicide is not a stereotype.
Not everyone has a home,
No place to live and feel happy in so,
No place to live without leaving again,
No place to live to avoid the truth,


Suicide is not a stereotype.
Not everyone has a love,
Nothing there to hold them in warm arms,
Nothing there for a kiss to remember,
Nothing there to be a greatness in life,


Suicide is not a stereotype.
Not everyone has a someone,
"Don't do it - for your family
   They mean nothing to me anymore,
"Don't do it - for your friends"
   Friends? What friends? They don't exist,
"Don't do it - what about home"
   Heaven's clouds are softer than streets,
"Don't do it - what about your lover"
   A lover? Nobody would love scars like these,


Suicide is not a stereotype.
Not everyone has a reason to live.
Not everyone can find a someone.


Suicide is not a stereotype.
Some find a reasons, but it's not enough.
Some find a someone, but it's not enough.


Suicide is not a stereotype.
When a dead straight, red line
Seems like the best answer to us,
Many will listen, many will not -

Suicide is not a stereotype.
But just because there's times
People don't want Earth any longer:
That gives no soul a single right
To treat them, to treat us,
All the same - as if suicide
Is an action quite the same
In every life ever lived short.

Suicide is not a stereotype.

Here is your critique by Michel-le-fou:
The foremost and mpost eye-grabbing detail is the repitition of "suicide is not a stereotype". I have yet to undserstand who misperceived it that way. But the emphasis in your tone was well-conceived. The errant should read this. After each repition, you have done well indeed to explain in thoise terms. There is surely an errant mind to whom you addressed this poem. Now about the conclusion: It was really engrossing, since you went to lengths to empahise the point and then this stanza with its different content. This would fare well as a debate issue/ Well-conceived altogether.
