Chapter 38 - Let me go.

Sometimes I feel like I need to die...

I could leap from the 21st

Simply fall from the sky.

But in doing that I'd die terrified.

That's not the way I'd want to go...

-

And I feel like there aren't many people who would mind.

If I swallowed half a bottle,

If I drank some Iodine.

Call me crazy but in counting

I can think of only nine.

Who would truly even care If I took my very life?

But that's not really how I'd like to be remembered...No.

-

But to think of it, sleeping pills could easily do the job.

I'd have a bit of time to clean my room before I got drowsy. 

So when whoever found me,

Found me, they would think me not a slob

They'd do the math and see that I took so many, it would be astounding.

-

The very last way I'd like to go would be burning or drowning!

Burning is way too horrible and I'd be ash when they found me.

And I can't fathom choking on water till darkness closed around me...

-

I don't want to go painfully...

-

Maybe I'm just being selfish...

Or maybe I don't have much left

Beggars can't be choosers

Especially when you choose death.

-

Who am I fooling...

Suicide is not an option for me

As much as I would like to leave

I have a few who still need me.

-

So I'll suck it up and keep going

In this life, never knowing

When better times will start flowing...
