I Died

Folder: 
Depression

"You're acting very strange

As of late"

My parents were saying to me,

The day I Died. 

 

They had found my

Shopping list the day as well;

'Rope, Castor Beans, Knife, Space',

All the remedies to make sure I Died.

 

I left them be,

Standing alone.

I went off to my favourite tree,

All to see, if I Died.

 

I drank the ricin,

I tied the noose,

I slit my wrist,

And then, with a smile, I hung loose.

 

And so I Died...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a poem I wrote when I wasn't feeling "great". This isn't suppose to be a poem to shock people, but a poem to enjoy and to learn there is a lot better than this.

Can def relate

I have experienced something similar to that. I use to think about how easy it would be to end it all. Now I still have those thoughts but just as you said in your note, life may be hard, we may find ourselves questioning alot of things but it takes alot to open up your eyes an see that there are better things in life and that you can do, be more than you ever thought possible. Good write, [Sorry for my long comment] lol I enjoyed reading this.

Correct

You definitely have the meaning correct, I feel sorry for those who don't, as you put it, open their eyes. There is a whole world out there and for a lot of people, a really great and special life to live.
