I want to die.
No longer will I say
Life is beautiful.
Reality is harsh.
It doesn’t matter that
I try and try,
Relentlessly.
The sun shines bright
Then
The sun goes dim,
And everything changes.
One last hope;
A hope found
Becomes
A hope lost
That’s all it takes.
One thing,
In my life,
Made the difference,
A change of perspective
...
“This is the wrong choice”
He said—
Second thoughts crept into his head,
As he remembered a quote of hope.
Which he discarded swiftly
While he wrote the note,
He made up his mind
Then
His pen danced ghastlily...
...write this on his grave—
“Here lies a casualty of the digital age”
Reads forward and backward, line by line
