Over the years I have known many lost souls who have taken their own lives, the last only five days ago at the age of 24. In trying to come to terms with such loss those left behind especially those closest to the deceased often feel that they should have forseen it and been able to prevent it. I now conclude that more often than not intervention would not make much difference as people believe what they want to and not what others do or say. As with most things only the individual can make the change and if they cannot find their way out of the darkness in their own minds they will take whatever option comforts them, even to the point of taking their own lives. 

The poem is excellent but the truthful answer to the question will remain unanswered 

Strong and touching words ..love your poems i do,
