Don'T Cry When You Say Goodbye

Life is just like a game we
all play,I seem to live my
life day by day.

Some days are good,
some days are bad,
but lately most days
I am very sad.

I think it would be better
if I just ended my life,I
don't think I have been a
good mother and loving wife.

I've picked a time and have
a date,I am hoping things
get better before it's to late.

Alot of people tried to help
anyway that they could,but
when they tried to commit me
I got scared and ran.

I've been very confused 
and not sure what to do,
I think things would be better,
if my life were through.

I love my kids dearly,don't
get me wrong,but I've 
been living in pain
for way to long.

Please don't be sad when
you tell me goodbye,I
honestly don't want
to make anyone cry.

Broken, confused and in pain, emotions flow so clearly from your pen. Nobody can say life is easy and you have conveyed this well in your poem. I'm not sure if this is how you actually feel, but in case it is, keep moving forward through the gloom, days will brighten soon, but it may take some time. Keep that pen flowing my dear. Hug, Connie

Interesting write. Sounds like you feel sad but are able to cope and write it down on paper to rid yourself of some of the pain. Keep the pen flowing. Sara
