Some statistics regarding suicide.

Let me have silence and the stars,
If you would give me peace.
Words are too brutal. Say not one.
Silence will give my heart release.

Let me have darkness and the storm,
Lightning and angry rain.
Thoughts that are mine shall ride the wind.
I must forget this haunting pain.

Let me have silence and the stars,
Stillness in early dawn.
Hearts that are sad can sing once more.
Life and its song must linger on.
