my attempt at empathizing with the suicidal- nothing more. this is not a suicide note.

Suicide. 

fascinating concept. 

Assisted suicide and euthanasia 

should be legal- 

but with a lingering, 

(maybe) 

process that makes certain 

 ....the subject.... 

really does want to die

the unknown ....maaaan

it's sitting out there

just waiting for nothing

doing nothing

but is it

nothing?

I never knew consciousness

before I was aware

...of it

that I can remember

observe

verify

so why believe it?

why do people jump to the conclusion of reincarnation? 

hopeful, wishful thinking-

and who can blame them?

it's more probable than a patriarchal bearded, omniscient and omnipotent, self-contradicting

man-god-son-MALE in the skyyyyyy

so some people want to die.

they should have that right

and there would be no stigma-

you could give your goodbyes

and make a rational decision that 

you would have to lay at the feet 

of your friends and your family and tell them-

I am not happy. I want- no- I NEED to end my own self- and while I love you all and wish you the very best- I am not coming and would appreciate

being recycled back into the circle of creation.

yes, family and friends: (you would say)

My atoms would be better elsewhere.

I want to feed the fauna 

with the decomposed... little toes that I am so tired of clipping. Always clipping,

always clipping.

(you might say)

This is not cowardice- it is bravery. 

It is facing the unknown 

and jumping in blind.

And maybe...

a little crazy.

I am tired of this life, and "who knows" 

is just enough

mysterious and luring

to make me wonder

all of the time:

What is death like?

There is only one way to find out. 

PS.

Than afterlife,

it is even more probable 

that we are actually 

living 

in a "simulation" 

designed with the 

human mind

in 

mind.

And we'll just wake up from this life-

horrified, astonished, and gasping for air all at once-

what a rush it would be

the drugs of the future- they will be life as it were .... Whenever.

when you live forever- 

you kind of run out of things to do

so hop in. 

it's a drug

it's a trip

it's a rush

it's life

and Life is a rollercoaster.

I f*****g love rollercoasters.

Been browsing through your stuff. Poetry at times can become so cliché. And then I stumble across something new...refreshing...interesting. This outlook on suicide amuses me. There is so much stigma wrapped around the afterlife. I could feel your sarcasm...I could feel the irony. I guess that's why I just subscribed to your work. I am impressed.

wow. that came out of no where. thank you so very much. i really do appreciate the kind words- i do my very best to keep poetry new and different. i feel like i stumble over myself trying too hard, but then someone like you gives me a comment like this... yer making me blush!

thanks for taking the time to read this and share your thoughts- i really do appreciate that. i don't get a whole lot these days because i don't put any time into patting the backs of others.

glad you enjoyed the ending!

It was my pleasure ... don't worry about patting backs...just enjoy writing and reading what you wish ( :
