and said suicide is like hanging
up your boots when the season
is early doors. It’s going to ground
too soon, not waiting for the whistle
and refusing to play through
the pain barrier once more.
It’s not being able to look
at yourself in the mirror

As Izz says, great analogies for just losing it. It holds out the hovering threat that it could happen to any of us and leaves the reader wondering what it could be like (or possibly uncomfortably reminded of what it was like)
I wonder if this one is inspired by what's happened in the world of cricket?
Great analogies for just losing it here. The important thing is what's going on behind the eyes - very sad.
