The Greatest Pain in Life
The greatest pain in life
is not to die,
but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so much
to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much
throw a party...
and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.
The greatest pain in life,
is not to die, but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts
and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be too busy to console you
when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
is you.
Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play in this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends you will not be pusinshed.
You will simply be ignored... forgotten...
as you have done to others.
*This poem was written by a young girl who committed
suicide three years ago. Perhaps if the people surrounding
her had shown a little more love, and had paid more attention
to her, her death could have been prevented. Remember that
when going through life, you can't judge a sad, lonely, or
suicidal person by their facial expression. You need to get
to know each person you come in contact with, cherish your
friendship with them, and show them that you care.*
