Dear Suicide

Dear Suicide,

I’m writing you a letter. Committing you and hurting myself won’t make me feel better.

Dear Suicide,

Get it through your head that I’m done seeing red because I’m not better off dead.

Dear Suicide,

You’re a train I’ll have to miss because I can’t give myself that eternal goodbye kiss.

Dear Suicide,

Against you will I keep fighting because I’m not supposed to ride your lightning.

Dear Suicide,

You pretend to be my pity party friend, but you’re the greatest self sin that brings good to an untimely end.

Dear Suicide,

You don’t give my pain a voice. You just void me of a future filled with beautiful choice.

Dear Suicide,

You are a poison to the well. Shaking your hand puts me in my own personal hell.

Dear Suicide,

Stay away because you have nothing to give. We can say farewell because I have decided to live.
