Selfish

I'm so horrible
How could I do this to you?
I thought you could handle
My life being through

So I attempted suicide
Sadly I failed
You're such a good friend
But you should have bailed

You should want you stop
Being my friend
You shouldn't have to deal
With pain you can't mend

It's not your pain
You don't have to care
I love that you do
But for you it's not fair

Now you cry
And scream in your sleep
"Don't jump!" you yell
Then wake up to weep

It's all my fault
I'd take it away if I could
The one thing you want me to do
Believe me, If I could I would

You want me to promise
I won't try again
But i can't promise you that
I can't go through life with this stupid fake grin!

You call me selfish for trying
But think of it this way
' How selfish it is to force someone to keep playing
The game of life when they don't want to play. '

What do you think??

    Great!

    Wow this poem is amazing. I can really feel the emotions you were trying to convey. It gave my a sort of sad, melancholy feeling and really stuck in my head. I have also been called selfish for attempting suicide, and I know how hurtful that can feel. I have since realized however, that suicide is not the answer for me. I'm sorry you had to go through all this, but you did a great job writing about it. I enjoy the end very much I feel the exact same way sometimes. Keep up the writing and you will do great I'm sure!
