I imagine there have been many of you in this community that have participated in many other MMORPGs. Lately I have been on PWI. Now when I see someone telling others in World Chat that they are thinking of killing themselves or actually have it all planned out, I don't know about you, but I see a little lost child crying out in pain and asking for help. I see myself not even a year ago and it scares me to death when I see this and then to see others in the game think of it as a joke or a game. Maybe it is a sick joke to the one crying wolf but there are many people out there who don't know where to look and end up asking for help through the games they play. Now I was never the one to broadcast it through an online game, but it showed in my poetry, my attitude and in the way I spoke. I did my best to hide my suicidal behaviors, but there were many a time that I subconsciously asked for helped....cried for help. I guess what I am asking is that at least be forewarned and try to help them through this. It may just be a child looking for attention but then again we never really know do we? At least not until we hear about it in the news, like the poor child who committed suicide over myspace. I just wish more people, adult and children alike, would take this seriously and not put that particular person down when they are already as far down as humanely possible. What I have seen of the Endless Forest community I love. I see a community that works together, plays together, and helps each other out even when times are rough for there fellow players. I have seen screen shots and videos of how this community come together for a player that was tragically taken away. I am grateful to find a community such as this. I just pray that there will be more communities, whether online or offline, that take this one as a good example of human fellowship.
'Let The Light Shine In"
Oh how the clouds darken in your life
And you fear to open your eyes because of the blackness
Little child the light will shine again
The sun will break through the storm of sadness
Have patience ye little lamb
For your salvation is nigh at hand
Do not give up on this gift of life
Take the strength He hands to you
And live it to the fullest
Have patience child
For your reward is nigh
And love will once again rain down upon
Your young sorrowful heart.
Do not let the anger beat you down to nothing
Lift yourself up and be proud of the life you live.
Forgive me for the religious connotations but I felt I had to write this down.
"but then again we never
Your poetry is wonderful and carried such a warmth and comforting feeling, I'm glad that there are people like you who want to spread feelings like that over what can be a very negative internet
