Just A Word

I can’t do it anymore.

They tell me to 
	do what I think is right.

But what I think is right,
 	It seems to be wrong.

Suicide.

Maybe it’s simply just a word to you
 But the day that I leave you,
  The horrible day that seems closer everyday,

Is also the day when my parents are the
 most disappointed in me.
The day when I am the biggest disgrace
 to my family’s name.
The day when everyone is ashamed to say
 they are related to me.

They’ll call me weak
	and selfish.

They’ll discard me for the nerve I had,
	To do that to them.

My friends, my family, please forgive me
 Maybe if I hadn’t screwed up,
 Or maybe if you weren’t worlds and worlds away.
Maybe then we could’ve understood each other.

But please understand when I say this,
I dont want to see you cry
I dont want to be the one you miss.

Please do not forget me,
Look at the color blue,
	and remember me.

I’m sorry, 
 good bye.

Amanda Nolan April 21, 2025 at 9:49 PM This is beautiful and has so much meaning behind it. I can relate, but there is so much more hidden behind this that only you know, which in itself is beautiful. I hope that you stay safe and healthy.
