Caught
My most recent suicide attempt. Not a wise thing to do. (More like prose than poetry).
All I wanted was death
But happiness also
I don't want to hurt my family
They’ve done nothing wrong
It's the only idea that holds me back
I collected some pills
Over the course of several weeks
I swallowed 36 capsules
They made me tired
But before anything could come of it
I was caught
Sent to the emergency room
Three long days in the psychotic ward
Am I crazy?
But now I'm out yet again
What will come of it?
But happiness also
