Time To Go

Please note this is NOT an indication of what I'm "about to do". I wrote this 5 1/2 years ago when my depression was at it's worst. I wrote it intending to leave it for my husband and 2 sons. It's now time for me to go I'll quietly fade away. Nothing you can do or say will make me want to stay. I'm tired of the darkness The lights are long gone There's no reason left for me to carry on. Don't take the blame, it's not your fault it has nothing to do with you. It's all about me and only me. It's the only way left to get through My whole life I've cared for everyone else and always put myself last Now it's time to take care of me and forget about the past. May the tears you shed be tears of joy. Now that I'm finally at peace Rejoice that I'm no longer suffering and I've finally gotten relief Don't ever forget me and know that I won't forget you I've taken you with me, you're deep in my heart. Think of me often and we'll never be apart
