If I don’t come to school today, don’t worry about me. I’ll be okay.
I’m in a better place now, where I can just be me. I can look at myself, and say: “Hey, look, I’m free”.
Free of being a burden to my family and to my friends.
Free of not getting bullied by the kids that call me names.
Names that mean nothing at all, but they’re mean words all the same.
If I don’t come to school today, don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay.
This is a better place for me, where I can just be free.
No one’s ever cared for me; not my family or my friends.
I’m out of their way now. It’s probably best for all of us.
I’m in a better place; so, if I don’t come to school today, don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay.
Who am I kidding? If I don’t come to school today, don’t worry, we’ll see, in a few years no one will remember me.
I wont come back. I couldn’t if I wanted to, even if I cried. I couldn’t come back, no matter how hard I’ve tried.
I’m laying here now, thinking about it all. And suddenly soon, I died.
Background: I wrote this suicide note, er poem, back in 2011 so I was only about 14 at that time. I was also going through the grueling process of moving house, not just across the country in the US, but halfway around the world to Europe (Austria to be exact, and I'm still here)...
This poem speaks to me the most out of all I've writen (so far). I will always be the shy, quiet, wallflower that I am, or seem to be... I hope this poem will help those who are in need or feel like they're invisible to the rest of the world. Please feel free to comment and leave some (positive?) feedback.
