Suicide note

 

I write this note from the deepest of my soul

For it will be my last

 

Don’t feel sorry for me

For what we gain from this world,

We will all leave behind

 

This is my final resting place

At last I can feel at peace

At last I can find solace

 

For with the angels I shall sing

Or with the demons I shall chant

Who knows?

Who am I to judge?

Whatever God wills!

 

But I have found peace at last

Don’t feel sorry for me

Is this not where we will all end

 

A single life

A last breath

A drop in the ocean

 

For was my life worth more,

Than that of the rest

The others

 

Don’t feel sorry for me

I blame no one for my choice

For I am all to blame

 

Perhaps I wasn’t strong enough

Tough enough to withstand the high tides

The raging storms

 

But I don’t want to be strong anymore

I don’t want to be tough anymore

I’m tired now

Sleep now

Sleep so I can slip away

 

Slowly

Surely

Quietly

I slip into the unknown

Just the way my pills were meant to work

 

Sleep child

Sleep and I slip away

At last I can find peace

 

Dreams

Yes, I had dreams

Like everybody else I had dreams

But I wasted them away at a hand of poker

For I even had bigger dreams

 

Lost all that I had

Gambled away my life’s savings

My best friend’s last savings

My parents’ last hope

 

Now I will never forgive myself

I will never let myself see the light of day

For I do not deserve that luxury

 

Sleep child

Sleep and I slip away

At last I can find peace

 

Dreams

Yes I had dreams

I see fathers taking their children to the park

I see children playing on a swing

I see the sun shining up in the sky

I see birds flying up in the sky

Olala... That's very intense.

I really liked this a lot......I would hope to write such a beautiful note if ever this was my choice. It has a restful quality. I found the section about gambling to be a little distracting. Maybe I wanted it to be more indefinable.
But its a wonderful write......keep up the good work!

these are beautiful last moments.
last thoughts.
last memories.
i especially like:
'A single life
A last breath
A drop in the ocean.'
great write xxx

I most certainly hope that this isn't an actual suicide note...

I like how it's about a person finally coming to terms with their life and how it's going to end. It's about them accepting their Fate, really.

"A drop in the ocean" just reminded me of a poem i wrote a while ago. Thank you for that.
It is true that what we gain in this world we will leave behind, so we must gain all that we can before we leave.
