This is not a poem

 

Writers suffer from a chronic parasite; it is called writers block.

They are discouraged yearly from writing due to the failure of the workshops.

 

There are sixty seconds in a minute, thirty minutes in an hour, twenty-four hours in a day.

In a day 3,000 people kill themselves. Some are writers.

The Average person has

at least thought about suicide once.

                                                                                               

Kurt Vonnegut

Sylvia Plath

Edgar Allan Poe

Ernest Hemingway

Virginia Woolf.

Raymond Chandler.

 

According to WHO, approximately one million people commit suicide each year worldwide.
