If I wrote a suicide note, what would it say?
Would it be for tomorrow or today?
Would it be full of goodbyes or would I let people know
how I died and why I had to go?
Would people see me as weak or brave?
Would they cry when I’m in a grave?
Will my friends grieve or celebrate?
Will they think it’s great?
Would I be the victim or the suspect?
Would they be wrecked?
Did I push myself all the way to death?
My fear playing with my breath.
If I wrote a suicide note it wouldn't be a suicide note after all.
I was looking over the edge when you made me fall.
You pushed me over and you watched me die.
That's not suicide, that's homicide.
A note with no goodbyes, no last farewell.
No apologies, not stories to tell.
A straight forward homicide report will do.
With the victim listed as me and the suspect, you.
This is what mine would say although I would totally add more to it.
