Chapter 16 - To know them

How deep must a feeling run

to make someone end it all?

How heavy must the sadness grow

to make that choice feel like release?

What makes them take that step?

What makes them?

Difficult that it is to take the first step,

So is difficult ending everything, built.

"Have I ever felt that pull?

Was I ever close enough

To call it a victory—

just to be here?"

Do the situation need to be

Something from a movie?

A desperate cry?

A scene where the main character can't go anywhere?

Or is it the words from the society?

Or is it something else?

How beautiful they must have looked

when they laughed —

because those who feel deeply,

their joy too must run deep.

Like the ocean —

its waves rise high, then fall,

crashing and calming,

each one hiding stories

the world never sees.

And if I, too, feel deeply,

how deep must my sadness go

to truly understand theirs?

If they could advise someone,

What advice will they give?
