I Want To Die

Mara Diaz

I want to die. What is the use of staying alive?

What is the purpose of my life?

When I am always living with so much strife.

I can’t go on living this way.

I can’t stand boring day, after boring day.

Just watching my life waste away.

You must think I am a drama queen,

You haven’t been there, you haven’t seen

The disaster my life has been.

I know death is part of living, but all I know

Is that I will be quitting my life,

which has no meaning.

I want death to take over,

I want to go being sober,

Knowing what I am doing,

Aware of where I am going.

No need for drugs, no need to disguise

The feeling certain death will arise

I will go quietly, no one will know

just let me sleep, and not wake up tomorrow.

I want to die, don't want to cry, no one understands my sorrow...

So glad this is from the past and not now. phew...

How expressive and honest.

I saw a beautiful saying today it goes like this

Yesterday I was clever and wanted to change the world, as it was too difficult, cold and cruel

Today I am wise and I want to change myself, the only control I have is over me.

If have have nt already you should read - THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED - great read and explains why it is a human condition to feel like our story/life is worse than anyone elses that everyone elses has it better and how no-one understands us. The truth is we all understand, just some are better at wearing the mask and some have grown to know life is what we make it, good or bad.Great book.

Well done on this write, well written and touching. xx

Hey this poem was published in 2009 by someone with the name midnight rose. They wrote the poem back in 2000. Just commenting to check if that’s you or if you stole their work. Because why would you go under a different name.
