(Trigger Warning: suicide, depression)
This is a sestina style poem that I wrote describing a rather difficult time in my life. I was really depressed and I thought that the only thing that was going to fix it was taking my life. I didn't want to be alive anymore, but at the same time, I knew I needed to hold on. This poem basically describes the back and force I had in my head of what those juxtaposing feelings were like.
I am so tired of everything
No matter what nobody will care
How unimportant it seems, life
When nobody bothers to notice you
I am done being a burden to everyone
I want and need this life to end
There will be always be someone to care
Even when it seems like you've met the end
It's hard when on your shoulders is everything
But don't be mistaken you can have a great life
You can't always have your mind be on you
Learn to care about not you, but everyone
No longer do I wish to have this life
I promise I am done with everyone
I just cannot deal with everything
Nobody cares until who hurts is you
I am ready for this life, everything, to end
Nobody cares, and nobody ever will care
You cannot let this be the end
I promise you can get through this life
Think about everyone who needs you
There's much more to see, there's everything
I promise the hate is not from everyone
If nobody else then there's me, I care
No I can't this has to end
I am over it I am over everything
Don't lie to me, you don't care
All I am is a burden to everyone
I have to end it, I have to end this life
I'm sorry but you'd understand if it was you
I do understand because I was you
I thought I was a burden to everyone
I thought that I couldn't deal with life's everything
I thought that this was a bad life
I didn't have anyone to care
I promise it get better, this doesn't have to be the end
I'm sorry
This is the end.
