ugliness is not a prelude to suicide
to say he was a “good looking kid”
does not make him impartial to suicidal thoughts
suicide itself is an ugly word…
an uglier action it hurts all those touched

like a fire that burns our hearts to the core
but intelligence
good grades
nice things
do not prevent suicide

good looks
do not stop you from jumping
if you hold a mirror up to your face and a blade up to your wrist
they won’t cancel each other out
and you, in your ignorance
state that his looks should have had an affect
great hair could have saved his life
“there were no warning signs”
there usually aren’t
if all you can see is the surface
