Suicide Note

If I wrote one, who would I address it to?

Without them thinking, "they're doing it to get back at you."

I don't want to cause attitudes, I don't want to break hearts

I just want them to understand why I decided that mine should no longer start

Would they even be mad? Or would they feel validated?

Think that they're important because their name was stated?

Should I even give this evil a name?

Tell them that they could have stopped it, and give them all the blame?

I could never, I know better.

I know that this weight is only mine to carry.

I can't leave them with anything other than an explanation

I shouldn't leave little fingers sprawled on paper in between letters

Singling them out, saying that they should've done better

That'd be a bit hypocritical, considering my position

The last thing I'd ever do it for is attention

So maybe that route isn't mine to take

Maybe I should make the death look like a mistake

Because a note is left when you have someone to leave behind

And no one's been keeping up with me for a long, long time

I'd rather not delay the inevitable with something so fragile

It's usually the bravest soldiers who die alone in battle
