the Note I LeftA Poem by Mike Espinosa
I apologize, family
I'm sorry, friends but this is the way it has to be one less mouth for you to feed. In the years I've been here, I have learned from you all. And don't think I am selfish, I am doing this for you- To wish for my return or to travel time won't help anyone anymore. As the Buddhists say, "To live is to suffer." If I wish to suffer no longer, then I must stop living. I will purposely misinterpret this noble truth, to justify my rationalization. I've learned that we're never the same after creation. We see the world and the people for what they are- a burden I cannot let myself be a hurtle for you to jump everyday. So, this is more than enough to lift this boulder from your shoulders. Goodbye to you all. From the deepest portions of my heart, I have loved you all from my ending to my start. © 2010 Mike Espinosa |
