Dear Mama

A suicide letter

Dear Mama,

 

  Mama, we all go to hell. I’m writing this letter and wishing you well, because Mama, we all go to hell. Mama, we’re all gonna die! Please don’t ask questions, I’d hate to see you cry. I swear mama, we’re all gonna die!

 

   And when we all go, don’t blame us. Just let the fires bathe us. You made us all so famous. And when you go, please don’t return.

 

  Mama, we’re all full of lies. Mama, we’re meant for the flies! And right now, they are building a coffin your size. Mama, you’re full of lies.

  

    Mama, the war destroyed my legs and my tongue. You should have raised a baby girl, and I should have been a better son. And when we all go, don’t blame us. Just let the fires bathe us. You made us all so famous. And when you go, please don’t return.

 

    I remember how you said, “You ain't no son of mine! For what you've done, they're gonna find a place for you. And just you mind your manners when you go! And when you go, don't return to me my love.” I still remember Mama.

 

    Mama, we all go to hell! We really do all go to hell. Actually, it is quite pleasant except for the smell. You can scream at me there, saying “Call me your sweetheart and then I’d maybe sing you a song”

 

   But I don’t want no song Mama! There’s s**t that I’ve done with this f**k of a gun. You would cry your eyes out if you knew, Mama!

 

   We’re all damned after all! Through fortune and flame we fall! And if you can stay, I will show you the way to return from the ashes you call.

 

      Mama, we’ll all carry on when our brothers in arms are gone. So raise your glass high, for tomorrow we die, and return from the ashes you call.

 

Your son,

~ GW

 

  

   

Author's Note

A letter I wrote a while ago based off of the song 'Mama' by My Chemical Romance
Not a real letter or anything, it is almost word for word the lyrics of that song.

I like this poem. Felt like a powerful letter with honest and direct words for mother. The strong statements made the story seem true and strong. Thank you for the excellent story.

Damn. I read this and then glance over at your age, and compare the difference of your age and this...this is Wow. I loved it. It was sad, but I loved it. Absolute great write. (And you're right. Age is just a number)
