My Last Poem

I dreamed the last poem I ever wrote
Turned out to be my suicide note
And this is the way it read
If you're reading this I am dead
I've been dead longer then you know
Dealt with depression so it wouldn't show
I turned away from your loving hand
Hatred of myself,you'd not understand
The dark void nobody could fill
It is so cold,can you feel the chill
Emptiness,a vacuum,and empty shell
I've shut you all out of my private hell
I've awakened dailey to the feeling of dread
The voices telling me I must be dead
This is the last poem that I ever wrote
Yes this turned out to be my suicide note

Your Last Poem

Thank God it wasn't!
Gloria, I had a very close friend of mine
who suffered with depression all her life. It put her through hell.
Just before Christmas 2001, she stretched out in a tub with a .357 magnum and put it in her mouth.
You can't even begin to imagine the pain felt by those she left behind - her family and friends - who loved her and tried our best to help her through all those horrible things that were tearing her down.
God rest her soul!!! She was a fabulous lady, and we all miss her so much.
This poem really touched me deeply. God bless you, lady! Stay well and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you!

Old stuff

I took off with this from somthing I wrote years ago.Though a new write it was based on something I wrote years ago.Thank you for your concern and for taking time to comment.

Gloria
