What if I Wrote a Suicide Note?


What if I wrote a suicide note? What if I told the world what I felt? What if I told where the fault lied? How my sister destroyed me from the inside How my parents protected me so hard I cried How my parents protected me so hard I died How the world couldn’t see me, Didn’t want to be me How even my best friend lost track of me sometimes What if I told you that you drove me crazy? What if I said my purpose was hazy? Why should I live in this world with such pain? I don’t want to be me, see me, live this way. What if I doubt what holds me together? How can I make it through this unbearable weather, When I can’t see my future through to the end? What happens when my world ends? They would cry, it would be them. They would cry, all of them BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR FUCKING FAULT! I would tell them, those sons of bitches You killed me! Are you happy? You chose me, closed me and got me dead. You could have let me go and I’d come back. But instead I died. I would send this suicide note. I’d tell you it’s all YOU’RE FAULT. I hope you feel the way I felt. But I will feel no longer

DON"T YOU FUCKING KILL YOURSELF!!!! There is so much out there for you to experience. Trust me, I tried it and I'm glad I failed. Don't do this to yourself, please don't.
