"Why You Can't Kill Yourself"

The piece is written to inspire hope and remind the younger generation how important they are. Suicide is still a leading cause of death among young teens and American youth. The Hater believes by openly speaking about the subject we can have an impact. - For the word we wish we could've spoken, for the one we wished we could've said them to. 

From Gus' YouTube page: For the words we hope we could've spoken, for the ones we wish we could have said them to, for the future is not broken it will always start a new. - Remember you're beautiful, your life matters, and above all, you are loved.

Note from Digital Poet: Hey Readers - It's not too often I get a video or a piece that truly resonates with not only my style, but my life. As most of you know if you've poked around my site, I'm a junkie - not an active one, but that's what's in me.
