My Final Goodbye

This is my story My final goodbye I’m sorry to leave this world in such a hurry But it seems fate has finally decided it’s my time to die; I tried my hardest not to let you down, Spending most of my life hiding an endless frown, Always putting on a big smile whenever you came around, But now everything has been flipped upside down all because I’m no where to be found It’s been too late for far too long My whole life was just a balancing act all along Don’t stop reading in the middle of my poem Because by time you read this I’ll have already been gone No one could have helped me I never wanted to cause such a big scene But I need you to realize I never wanted you to see Therefore you only seen what I could never be So when you read this and you begin to ask yourself why Just remember I loved you and I don’t want you to cry I don’t want you to blame yourself so don’t even try This was my decision, not fates, I decided I wanted to die.

To everyone who is worried about my health and mental state due to this poem, I am not now nor was I ever suicidal, I was just pondering the idea of suicide. Honestly I am a very depressed individual and I would love the idea of ending my life but I am far too much of a coward to do that and I also love my life far too much to even attempt it. Thank you for your concerns though. And thank you all for your complements on my writing.

I have had those thoughts before too. make a list of goals such as where you want to go in life and work backwards so dare to dream big and make it happen.

I hope that this is just a topic about which you decided to write..I feel concerned now about you..If you are feeling suicidal call a hotline or go to an emergency room and get help..Sara

Daph - the realism and the sadness blankets the poem, I truly hope that you are not sincere about the end result, as you as really a most amazing and gifted writer - keep on writing, and I'll keep on reading...thanks, Rich
