Suicide

Suicide

My whole body hurts
Inside and out
This is depression
The beginning of it all

So many things to think about
Should it be quick?
Or should it be drawn out?
Which is easier ?

Knives?
Rope ?
Gun ?
Which should I choose?

Which will end it soon?
Just get it over with
I can’t take it anymore
Death is better than this

I grab the .45 from the draw
This will be quick
I only have one bullet
That will be plenty

The pain is intense now
My vision blurred
This is bad
The bullet’s in the chamber

I bring the barrel to my head
Take off the safety
This is for the best
Just pull the trigger

Click….
The gun goes off
Blowing a hole through my head
The pain is finally gone

I know how you feel...
Another lovely, yet slightly morbid, poem by Jordan =]
