SUICIDE NOTE, FROM THE HEART

SUICIDE NOTE, FROM THE HEART

Why did you do it? Will be the question asked.

Simple answer, you only ever saw a mask.

I smiled through the pain tearing me apart,

That my love was just the start.

Don’t blame yourself, you could never have known,

And tell the family it was in my head, mine alone.

I wanted so much to lose all doubt,

The demons inside had a louder shout.

I left behind a legacy of hurt

When I closed my eyes and hit the dirt.

For all of that, I am sorry and sad

Please don’t label me selfish or bad.

I really tried to follow the path,

You must have heard my hollow laugh.

I never wanted to end it this way,

This has not been an easy day.

Goodbye, Farewell, I love you so,

Now I feel it’s time to go.

I held your hand in my heart as I closed my eyes,

Maybe now I can sleep and the pain will die.

HI Kim..

This piece has taken me back to a cold night in December 

two years ago when I tried to end it all.. Thanks for Gods grace..

then last year my son in law took his life leaving my daughter and four children behind.. Stress, hurt, pain, discouraged, life in the whole can and will break many 

if we do not rest our hope in The Lord..

thanks for sharing.. Liked, pinned,, and a handful of stars.

So sorry for the pain you have lived through. I guess when I wrote this I needed people to understand it's not an easy route at all and we can't always see how badly someone is hurting. Thank you for your comments and the stars, my wish for you is that life brings you some peace of mind and healing along its rocky route.
