mine would say this If your reading this Then I finally did it I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye There was no time Understand I was stressed Living day to day was hard And I gave it my best But there was nothing left For me in this world To convince me to stay Now I'm long gone away Don't you do that Don't you start your tears Just remember all the time we spent over the years Never cry Never think bad to me What's done is done and that's the way it had to be I need you to be strong for me Say a prayer everyday in my memory I'm sure it's helping me To earn my feathers To get some wings And a halo and a harp and angelic things And even though I'm gone And outta sight Never worry about me I'm alright
I've actually written one in my life, but I don't remember what it said... Something like "I'm so fucking tired, and I know I'm being selfish but I don't care. Tell ______ (an ex lover who had dropped me at a time I needed her the most) that I love her and always will. By the way, I'm bi." lol... I don't remember. It was a very screwed up time for me. I was like 21.
"goodbye, the usefulness I had here was at an end, and so I made the descision to cease burdening myself with the weight of life, especially life without purpose, there are only two people I love, and I suspect neither of them is reading this, the package that arrives on thursday is for a friend, when she comes to see why I am not talking anymore, give it to her, and tell her what happened, tell her it was not her fault, instead it was the fact that I no longer had a reason to be here, and in such I was simply wasting resources to continue my existence. give nephew all my belongings, when he is ready for them, keep the cats together, give my boss all the loose computer parts lying around, and bring my albums into work to let my former coworkers pick through them before you sell the remainder, or whatever. if you have further questions consult c:\personal\private\nothinginterestinginhere\goaway\inocuous_folder\manifesto it will explain everything as best as I myself could explain it, feel free to distribute copies." that is, if I were to write one right now.
mine would be pretty long, but here's a condensed version: dear family, i am sorry to end my life and leave you with nothing but a small letter to weap over, but i have decided it would be best for me to live another life. the life i was living was going no where, and i knew that it would be better to end it before i ended up being really depressed. i love you all, and just know that i am in a much better world than the one that i was living in. don't blame yourselves for my death, my depression came from my mind, not what was around me. thank you for everything, and goodbye. of course my real letter would have a bunch of comic relief in it, cause i don't take life very seriously, and i'd like that letter to reflect that.
The loss of life scares me like nothing else, I have seen the shit, This is for anyone thinking seriously about it, People are trapped between the old and the new, This world is changed, Be not afriad of pain or a dull life, Days of love are comming
