Peace Out (Guest Post)

Nancy Davies lost her son to suicide and has been very open about sharing her journey after his death. Earlier this year she shared a guest post entitled 'The Weight Of The Ring' that she wanted to share in hopes that 'there’s the chance that it might help to save a young life.'

Today Nancy shares a poem she wrote about teenage suicide. If you can relate to this moving poem, please share it with your social media friends.  You never know if it could help someone who is struggling.

PEACE OUT
(or Thoughts on a Teenage Suicide )
 
The darkness invades like a cold winter night.
I dream that I’m flying straight into the light.
But heaviness lingers, it settles in deep.
Where I’m going tonight I won’t need any sleep.
 
My body is tired; my mind aches to be freed.
I lay on my bed and in silence I bleed.
I can’t seem to shake this, whatever I do.
The love that you give me can’t find its way through.
 
I’ll be the wind in your face.
I’ll be a gentle embrace.
I’ll be your undying grace.
Peace out.
 
See I’ve lost all my faith and I’ve given up hope.
These thoughts in my head leave me struggling to cope.
I’m about to cheat destiny, change out my fate.
Peace isn't coming; I fear it’s too late.
 
I feel angels surround me in quiet desperation
Hoping their presence secures a persuasion
They tell me think twice for I must be mistaken
I pray they’ll forgive me for this chance that I’m taking.
 
I’ll be the wind in your face.
I’ll be a gentle embrace.
I’ll be your undying grace.
Peace out.
