Suicide: A Poem

Standard

Life, oh life, what have you done to me?

You’ve taken me and broken me

so I feel I must no longer be.

~~~

There are no sun-beams of hope

to wash over me and cleanse my despair.

I feel all I can do is mope.

I feel I no longer care.

~~~

They say the night is darkest just before the dawn.

I say that is little comfort;

it would be even darker if I were beneath the lawn.
