There's nothing worse than hearing a friend admit they'd like to die.
No... It's worse when they tell you "I don't want to talk about it."
"Have I not always been there?
I guess I'm just not good enough
I guess our friendship just wasn't strong enough
Don't tell me any different
Don't tell me that I am enough
Don't say that I'm wrong
If I was enough, you'd tell me what's wrong
If I was enough, I'd be able to know
If I was enough, I'd be able to make you happy,
Enough to stay,
Anyway..."
There's nothing worse than hearing a friend admit they'd like to die.
No... It's worse when they tell you everything, and you don't care anymore.
"You have not always been there
I guess you're just not good enough
I guess you just took too long
Don't tell me any different
Don't tell me that I am enough
Don't say that I'm wrong
If I was enough, you'd tell me right away
If I was enough, I'd be able to know
If I was enough..."
We'd still be there.
I guess you could say this is a short story. It's somewhat of a Poem, but when I think of it that way it doesn't fit well...
I've had a share of people close to me in my life tell me they'd been feed up and ready to give up... a close friend of mine told me recently he attempted to end his life. It got me thinking about how I'd reacted so many times in the past when someone else had admitted to me. When someone kills themselves... It doesn't just affect that one person. It hurts everyone he/she knows.
If you don't get the story, it's basically pointing out two friends that were having communication problems. One friend would not tell the other what caused the attempt in suicide. He/she felt that they were not enough for their friend, because in their mind, if they were enough, his/her friend would be willing and able to talk about it with him/her. Along the road, The friend decides to tell the other what had happened. Now it had been too long and he/she felt anger against his/her old friend. He/she didn't care anymore. In the end, both of their lives ended...
