Hardly thrown in here, the whole thing is someone depressed in a cry for help, but how many suicidals know how to ask for help? Could have been helped? But no one sees or hears the signs in order to help. 

The suicidal goes the whole journey bearing the pressures of his own mind, did he kill 





the pressure i assume you´re talking about  can be intensely felt in the way you wrote the poem. it´s quite urgent, so, your goal to express a cry for help is achieved.

but the cry seems too generalized.
suicide is not the consequence of this world as a whole, however ugly it is with corruption, war, suffering and so on.
suicide is never, never sacrifice. it´s quite the opposite, it makes the world worse. Crucifixion wasn't sacrifice, one famous crucifixion (often viewed as a suicide, having had the power at any time to stop it) uttered the forgiveness line but it's the line everyone should utter when under attack, hence turning the other cheek. When you hurt yourself, who can be forgiven?  I distinctly remember in The Bell Jar her body compulsively killing itself walking into the ocean or tying a rope around her neck or hiding away in a basement while her thoughts were on anything but the actual action.  There's too many reasons for a suicide to actually mention it directly in my prose/ poem here, but maybe i can do something more to make it less generalized, I'm taking your and lizzies comments into consideration, thank you!

forgive me this invasion, it´s a repetition anyway, but i think it´s important. keep it up, the idea is good.
