Dear Mother, Dear Father, Dear Brother, Dear Friend

Dear Mother.

I made a pretty picture
It’s all over the floor
I’d show you how I did it
But I can’t reach the door
Did you ever really love me?
Not as far as I could tell
I’m sorry but you’ve helped them
Make my life a living hell
The handle’s too far up
It’s locked and I have no key
But something horrible has happened
I just wish you could have seen


Dear Father.

Are you shouting loud enough?
‘cause I don’t think I can hear you
Be happy that I’m hurt
I don’t want to be anywhere near you
Did you ever really care
That you made me feel like shit?
I was just a slave to you
You used my life as you saw fit
Life with you was always a contest
Are you happy with me in pain?
Because of you, I’m a danger
You never really cared if I was okay


Dear Brother.

Where are you today?
Will you find yourself tonight?
In your reverie of pain
Please don’t start another fight
I see you’re really troubled
But I don’t give a damn
You never treated me
Like the human I am
Did you ever really smile
Or was it just mockery?
You’re an ass in the hole
Just another accessory.


Dear Friend.

I’m sorry that I did this
U wish it were better
There are things you need to know
That aren’t in this letter
I’m sorry I couldn’t stay
I knew I wouldn’t last
I told you not to worry
But that was in the past
I wish you could have heard me
The nights I cried for you
I know you said you loved me
But I wish it wasn’t true

I didn’t want to do it
But I felt I had no choice
Now I’m dead and gone
And all but you rejoice
If I could, I’d let you in
So you could see me one last time
But I lie still on the floor
Just know you’re always mine
Such an easy place to end it
This bathroom is my deathbed
Don’t waste your tears on me
Look at the blood that I have shed …

… that is still spilling from my arms
Pooling around me
I drowned in my depression
For all the world to see
Don’t end up like me
I beg you to get help
If I save you it’ll be
The last thing that I felt.

Hear me one last time
I love you, my best friend
Always and Forever
But I’m sorry, I’ve reached my end
See how much I love you
On the arm, on which I wrote,
I’m sorry dear [name removed]
This is my suicide note.

  1. i relate mostly from "dear friend...", i can almost feel the pain and anger, yet not wanting to leave behind a dear friend, and i feel how the friend must feel reading this, the pain, anger and upset of losing someone so close to them...
