Cuts on my wrists
hands curled into fists
will i even be missed

Writing a note
i wrote
i love you and it wasn't your fault

That's a lie
i want to die and
its partly your fault

I can't tell you that so i
Sit and i cry

Why do i
Live like this

Will i even be missed

beautifully written, but please know that you are not alone and of course you will be missed! trust me when i say your presence and your poetry are absolutely essential to this world. whatever is happening right now, it will pass. it may pass like a huge kidney stone, but it WILL pass. i hope these words aren' empty to you; if i could say the perfect thing to fix it all, i would. Jeremiah 29:11 (in reference to those who have been exiled and are suffering) - "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." shoot me a message anytime! always here to talk

hey! i just got to the other side of the worse decade of my life and things have come together. something really interesting is how a moment feels like it goes on and on and on. and for a while, it does. but sink yourself into a book, and look after yourself to pass the time. seek help, write poems, read books, experience life. in a weird way, it wasnt until i started going places and experiencing things that i realised how unique and multi-dimensional life actually is. everyday is a total gift.

Ben u will be missed.. obviously u matter. I guess we need to stop seeing our worth in the eyes of others.

kenpepiton

For real, if so, I been through hell, it don't last forever. Do not try a permanent solution on a temporary problem, please.

removed.-8lt2

Been there bro. Recently. All I can say to you is the same thing I say to myself. Just keep going. Push through the day. As shity as tomorrow could be. It could also be as good as the times you probably miss right now. We don&#8217;t know. Just gotta keep going to find out.

anthony-brady

Ben  - If you have a cat or a dog - be sure to let them know - before you go - where the tin opener is... Imagine how they will miss you? There will never be an explanation. Better still, take the advice offered here by caring readers.  Bon Courage. Mon Ami. 
PS. Keep composing poetry: you can write your way out of the Slough of Despond. Have you ever read John Bunyan's?: The Pilgrim's Progress. He was locked up in isolation for 12 years in Bedford Prison.

You will be missed terribly by all your loved ones! AND: imagine all the experiences YOU will miss if you stop living! Best, Walter

THE ANSWER IS YES...YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!  EVERYBODY...and I mean EVERYBODY goes through a depressed time in their lives.  Depression is a fact of life...for WHATEVER reason...look into yourself...think about YOU...YOU MATTER!!!  I was depressed when I was a kid...I didn't fit in...and I had the same thoughts...would anybody care...well...when I'm gone...they'll all take notice.  PEOPLE TAKE NOTICE...and then something else grabs their attention...and poof!!!  YOU...HAVE TO MATTER TO YOU!!!  DON'T GIVE UP...life is a gift...the UNIVERSE IS PERFECT...AND SO ARE YOU...and if other people can not SEE your perfection...TO HELL WITH THEM...WHO YOU ARE MATTERS!!!  And it's up to YOU to convince yourself of that...and kick depression and death to the curve.  If you DON'T...you will cease to exist...and you'll have to come back and do this ALL OVER AGAIN...EXACTLY as you are doing it today.  YOU...ARE AN ARTIST...SEEK OUT, OTHER ARTISTS...OTHER LIKE MINDED FOLKS!!!  LOOK AT YOUR POEM...READ IT TO YOURSELF...IT'S GREAT, IT TOOK A LOT of work...work that others CAN NOT DO.  DO YOU MATTER...YES!!!
NOW...GO ENJOY YOUR LIFE...YOU ARE AN ARTIST...YOU'LL BE SHUNNED BY SOCIETY...SO WHAT...LIVE IT!!! DRESS TO SHOW OFF YOUR ARTISTRY...AND TO HELL WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE YOU!!!
Check out these lyrics by HENDRIX from the Sixties:

White-collared conservatives flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me
They're hoping soon, my kind will drop and die
But I'm going to wave my freak flag high
Wave on, wave on

Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go ahead on Mr. Businessman, you can't dress like me
Nobody knows what I'm talking about
I've got my own life to live
I'm the one that's going to have to die
When it's time for me to die
So let me live my life the way I want to

YOU are not alone!!!  AND YES...you DO matter!!!

You're already missed by anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of experiencing your entirely unique personality.

I agree with the positive uplifting people here. It is your turn to do the same.

Denniswillis

Ted.com and AGT type videos are great for extracting my head from the dark place with bad smells.

ZeroZen

Life is a gift to be treasured and like the seasons we all change; perhaps you're experiencing winter now but remember spring is on its way.

I taste your pain.  You being here is still more important.

michael-holly-barrett

I have been there and sometimes still am.

Life is young. The journey you go through can change within a days worth. You have to bed the path before you walk aimlessly. You deserve a life worth living. Sometimes it takes time. Sometimes you have to find yourself in the dark. Too truly know you have found the light in yourself.

Nice Poem. This Person is in pain. Please know that you're not alone. GOD is watching down on you.&#127804;

Not_Johnny

It is interesting that when suicide notes say, "it's not your fault," it can be a little untrue. If that's the case, I encourage you to talk to whoever has made you feel this way, or at the very least distance yourself from them a bit. It's obvious from the comments that you are valued here by people who may not even know you. If complete strangers can see the value in your life, then I'm hoping one day you will too.

MaluRomero

To be human is a the very reason citizens of humanity miss each other. Your poem is very lovely.

anne-curtin

I can both understand the place you are in, & all the comments you have received. Hard to believe I know, but your presence matters. Please reach out to a mental health person - talking can help, meds can help, & of course, poetry helps. I'm sorry you are in such pain that you want to die.  I really hear you - I have scars
on my wrists too.

Shawty

Well written with extreme emotions attached. You have a beautiful gift.

Mila

Lovely poem.
I&#8217;m positive you would be missed by plenty&#128151;

Haunting poem.. YES YOU WILL BE MISSED!! 

There is a website I have found lots of info & encouragement. "The Mighty" The Mighty | We face disability, disease and mental illness together

Give it a try :) Pulling for you to come out of the other side.

jasmine-patrick

So raw and honest. You are so valuable, not only to this poetry community but to those around you also.

andrew-guzaldo-c

YES you will be missed, KEEP up the poetry

christain-justina

wow! that is so deep! I might not know you but your poem speaks a lot. of course, you will be missed but please don't go, we still need you...

frank-bowen

Is the small i indicative of the size of the caracter&#8217;s image of self. Living in others does that... I took that as the message. Well done. 
Frank

Marsh_Mallow

That's really deep. Well penned, keep going!

madeleine-wolf

You will be missed greatly by your friends and family. You are important in this world, whether you believe it or not. The people who care about you will be heartbroken when you're gone. Just because one person may seem like they don't care, it doesn't mean others don't care.
