I wonder what went through his mind before he crossed that line? Was he being tormented by influences that others couldn’t define? Was he overtaken by some force that pushed him to that point, convincing him to take his life, losing a relentless fight within his mind like others in the spotlight?

When someone famous moves their chess piece off the board of life, we all stop and take notice and reminisce of who they were and what they’ve done: but what about the teenagers in my town that I heard about the other week, how many people know their names and and care about their impact and stolen destinies cut short in defeat.

There is a war on minds,

An invisible fight.

In thoughts hidden from sight.

A war in words between friends and enemies.

The lies you hear or speak about that penetrates thoughts: infiltrating the next vulnerable mind, are you a murderer by your words: learn how to lift up and encourage, it doesn’t take much to be kind.

Don’t be overwhelmed by mental illness, don’t shy away in fear: the prescription is really simple and it’s all you need to hear.

Love the hurting, build them up and show them they have a special place; love wins over depression don’t listen to the lies that say: you are not qualified, just step out in faith and I will line them up: the ones to breath in new life.

In this article: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/chris-cornells-wife-issues-statement-w483179 it suggests that the cause of Chris Cornell’s suicide was very likely the medication he had been prescribed to prevent suicidal thoughts. This is another example of what I have been trying to communicate to the mental health system these drugs are so dangerous and while some may debate that they help people I strongly disagree based on what I have seen and experienced they are not the answer.
