GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

Goodbye cruel world. I’m better off dead

Negative thoughts pound in my head

I just can’t seem to get it right

Now I’ve lost the will to fight

I look at the bottle of pills by my bed

A mistake in my timing just fills me with dread

I want to prolong it as long as I can

Though my doctor has told me that I’m a sick man

I don’t want to survive and live like a cabbage

I don’t want to end up as someone’s baggage

As the days go by, the weaker I get

Thoughts of not having strength makes me sweat

I must do it now, while I know I’m able

I swallow my pills from my bedside table

I turn out the light and think about my life

I remember the good things, not trouble or strife

My memories flood back from my early youth

No lies anymore, I’m just facing the truth

I’m feeling tired now, but I’m happy again

No pain and discomfort. No hurt in my brain

It’s too late to stop now and my time’s nearly up

I’m back in my childhood when I had my first pup

Now I’m grown up with children who play in the sea

I see a bright light and I hope it’s for me

Goodbye cruel world………………………………..

Inspired by the tale told me by a very brave man

Yes, he’s still alive and thanks to medical science, he is neither a cabbage nor anyone’s baggage

The light he saw was not the angel he was expecting, but a nurse with a torch

He tells me that he still has a bottle of pills ready. “Just in case”

I guess we all have an inbuilt fear of not being able to fend for ourselves

We also have a trigger point for when life becomes unbearable

Only the very brave or very foolish take this option
