Last hope

Every morning I sleep with a frown

Each night I wake up feeling down

 

My dreams commited suicide

And soon after were joined by my pride

Fortune, on my shores, reaches in low tide

And of life I only see the back side

 

I calm the pain with injections of hope

To delay the urge, to keep away from the rope

But soon I will no longer cope

Ending my days is the epilogue of this scope

 

Because life is enjoyed through senses

And mine, to feel joy, have to jump fences

But jumping is vain though my repetitive offences

True smiles on my face are high expenses

 

I try to forget, but I forgot how

And soon I will say ciao

I've already chosen my bough

Where I will say "pain, do not follow me now"

Because if death is the enemy, I'll be a pow

 

I no longer can gad

You may say I am cad

Yet of dying I am glad

And to this poem, I want to add

"Mother, I love you so don't be sad

Father, forgive me and don't be mad

Friends, you were the best thing I had"
