when it comes to suicide, we like to talk about how the person died: a gun to the head, an overdose, a rope hanging from the ceiling. but people do not die from a rope hanging from the ceiling. people die from depression. a person dies from suicide— from depression— every forty seconds. I am only one person with one life with one story. but everyone has their stack of stanzas. some people just don’t live long enough to publish them. while you were reading this, someone committed suicide. this page is for them.
