Should I
i know it helped you that i could see
if i do it to will it help me
it took away your pain do you now feel good
if it takes away my pain do you think i should
you hated your life and in some way it shows
if i hated mine to do you think anyone will know
you had a short life do you think you could have made it long
if i shorten mine to do you think it would be wrong
you were happy at some point do you remember at what time
if i were happy for a day would it be crossing the line
when you decided to make that choice was it hurting you a lot
if i was to make that choice to would they leave my body to rot
P.S. this poem is talking about my aunt who killed herself four days after my eight birthday
i cannot have the mind power to do
something like that but i do know people who do.
so this poem goes out to all the people who lost their relatives to suicided and to the ones
who think about it everyday. and to hope you can get help so you would not do anything like
that
