The Face

Think you know the face of suicide?

Look behind the eyes of the one striving for perfection. Perfection is a mirage that can never be satiated. This person may look for an end to disappointment.

See behind the laughter of the one always cheering other people up. This is someone who knows what it is like to not be happy. This person may look for an end to sadness.

Listen to the quiet one who never wants to burden anyone with a complaint. Every person has a voice but not everyone learns how to use it. This person may look for an end to loneliness.

The point is there is no one face of suicide.  It can happen to anyone. 

Even the strongest have breaking points.

Never take a relationship for granted.

Be aware.
