Farewell

April 15, 2019

Rejected, neglected, and dejected. Life like a literal land of suffering.

Roaming the universe unloved, unwanted, and unnoticed, a fate worse than death.

I never should have loved you. I never should have let you into my heart.

I never should have let you tear me apart, and now I’m scarred.

But it's time to end. I no longer want to make amends.

Bye Bye, because I can’t love, or be loved anymore.


I’m too depressed to go on, you’ll be sorry when I’m gone*


Everyday I go to school, get schooled like a fool and feel miniscule.

Like the bubble wrap in the cardboard boxes, I’m just useless waste.

Entirely existing to fill up the empty space.

My life is a disgrace, I’m failing all my grades.

Getting high on Amphetamines, Methamphetamines and ketamines,

Perpetually trapped, like living life behind bars of opioids.

The prison guards like dopamine, keeping me locked in forever,

Bringing me back even after I break free.


I’m too depressed to go on, you’ll be sorry when I’m gone*


My mind is finally clear. I got a solution to the depression.

I no longer need to fear. I am no longer scared. My embattled emotions no longer suppressed.

I got more than 13 reasons to leave this world.

The blades fly accompanied with the pouring of red crimson.

Water running in the background, I finally feel serene.

I close my eyes and relax. The end is finally here. Farewell world, it was nice knowing you, but:


I’m too depressed to go on, you’ll be sorry when I’m gone.*

As a high school student compounded with the stress and pressure associated with school, I wrote this poem to reflect the deterioriating mental and physical health awareness of young teens in America. I hope that this poem allows people to realize that however bad your life situation maybe, it is never the solution to harm yourself. There are plenty of resources out there for help and support.
