Suicide Note

I sit here in the dark,
Scrawling my famous last words,
In an all-so familiar suicide note.

I’ve thought over it a thousand times,
Trying to make it just right,
So that when you read it you understand what I’ve been through.

Pain and heartbreak have hit its toll,
Scars line my wrists and shoulders,
Depression has overcome me.

I used to be strong,
But I have slowly weakened,
Unable to face challenges before me.

Yes, I smiled and laughed with you,
Acting like nothing was wrong,
All the while I wore a mask, my secrets untold.

I used to be happy and carefree,
But now life has changed,
And I see the world differently.

It is cold and cruel,
A bleak and weary place,
I feel unaccepted for who I truly am.

Sure you have accepted me,
Given me comfort and love,
But I feel disconnected.

So as you look up me,
Standing upon the roof of a building,
Ready to jump and let life go,

Always remember what I said in my suicide note.
