Secret Suicide Note
by Sam Harty

Don't worry I wrote this a long time ago. But I think it's important to address mental health concerns and if you can relate to anything I ever write then I feel as a writer I'm doing good. Plus I did promise you some incoherent rambling... So here it is! :)
____________________________
i cannot lose one more thing
i'm out of belts, pulleys
& there's not enough string.
i feel the carousel slowing down
slower, slowing even more
too slow to grab the ring.
Get up?
Stay down?
Step off, stay where i'm at ?
how can a forward
movement just
RESTART
RESET
and RETURN?
even a speeding bullet
can't manage to do that.
if i close my eyes
will i feel safe again?
are you still my friend?
the same one that
we've all so adored
or is it too late?
is this old and tired?
have you grown
so very bored?
can a train wreck
ever really be fully
RESTORED?
Addendum:
were we ever
a speeding bullet?
was the train
really going that fast?
are all walls really
Crumbling?
or do you think
maybe
they started out
strong enough?
i mean
were they always
built strong enough
to last
to survive a day
not unlike a
BLAST?
you tell me
should i
STAY
GO
RESTART
or
FLEE?
i'm so tired.
i don't know
what to say or do.
maybe I should
just leave it all
up to you...?
Secret finale:
and here's the part
you didn't see
cause i just can't
let you down
i don't want to
hurt you,
make you cry,
or even frown.
but if we find
there is no hope
Thank God
i saved just enough
ROPE!
