Dear Mama,

I didn't mean to do it.
I just couldn't take it anymore.
It was just slice slice slice against my wrist.
So...I decided to take matters into my own hands.
But now I'm scared I took it too far.
A mistake I couldn't fix.
Between life and death, I have chosen death.
It was my decision.
It was my choice.
It was my mistake.
You couldn’t help me.
No one could.
It was my time to go.
It´s just that I decided that time.
It wasn't pre-decided for me.
I finally got to make a decision for myself.
Something that wasn't decided for me.
Who could’ve known it would have been my last.
Goodbye, I guess,
Pandora.

Dear Pandora,
   
I didn't mean for this to happen.
I couldn't be there for you.
It was just work work work all the time.
So… for that I am sorry.
But now I'm scared I caused this.
A mistake we couldn’t fix.
Between life and death, you could have chosen life.
It was your decision.
It was your choice.
However, It was my mistake.
I could have helped you.
I´m sure I could.
I didn't make it in time.
You decided it.
It wasn’t pre-decided for you.
You finally got to make a decision.
Something that wasn’t decided for you.
Who could’ve known it would be your last.
Goodbye, I guess,
Mama.
