Suicide Carries In Its Aftermath A Level

Everything Previously Moving With The Grain Is Now Against - You Are Irritable, Angry, Frightened, Uncontrollable, And Enmeshed Totally In The Blackest Caves Of The Mind. You Never Knew Those Caves Were There. It Will Never End, For Madness Carves Its Own Reality.

It Is True That I Had Wanted To Die , But That Is Peculiarly Different From Regretting Having Been Born. Overwhelmingly, I Was Enormously Glad To Have Been Born, Grateful For Life, And I Couldn’t Imagine Not Wanting To Pass On Life To Someone Else.
