What If?
January 3, 2024
What if, I wasn’t born?
There’d be no one to miss,
No one to mourn
What if, I made better choices?
Then would my only friends
Not be the Voices?
What if, I was given a second chance?
To right all my wrongs, would I take that dance?
What if, life gets better?
Would I then not have to write that letter?
What if, I had a better life?
Would I be the same person, without that strife?
What if, the world just came to an end?
Would we have another chance
To make it better again?
What if, only mine came to an end?
Would I be missed, by any of my friends?
What if, I ended it all?
Forfeited the game, made the withdrawal?
But my life “matters,” they say,
Then why is my hope so small?
What if. . .
I just ended it all?

This poem is meant to display a person's thought-process, as they suffer from mental-illness
Stuck in the past, constantly ruminating over mistakes, and "What Could Have Been." A common theme, among a lot of my works.
As stated in "Skyscraper," if you, or someone you know are planning, or considering suicide, please know that you are not alone. There will always be help, if you need it. You may just have to look deeper. There is hope on the horizon, I promise. Just keep kicking, don't give up and drown.
