We hear about the loss of someone And we feel num |

We hear about the loss of someone And we feel numb Silenced Forced to think are there people around us Is there someone who we can help We empathize Because it's not just one another bad news It's something someone could have done Something about Yet didn't We say #rip because There was no peace in the living Why isn't there peace in the living We think We ponder Who is to blame? Them? Who gave up? Because they weren't strong enough? Their families? Because they let it happen? Their gods? Our fate? Who would take the blame, if tomorrow it's us? Our bosses? Our companies? Our families? It's all of them Or maybe none of the above We think, we talk about it, we discuss it In bedrooms and DMs Catchups and comments We share on WhatsApp And make people aware We post on Instagram And hope for a reshare Slowly and humbly We start to forget Where did we start? How far will we get? If our turn comes Would there be another twist in fate? Or would help reach a little too late? #suicide

We hear about the loss of someone And we feel num
