Can I Just Kill Myself?
Can I just kill myself? Me, I am on the shelf. It would be so much easier, But would I be happier?
Would I feel happy if my parents were full of grief And my friends, who would be in total disbelief, If I were no longer here.
No more golden sunsets; Yes there would be regrets; No more coloured rainbows, No more tree lined shadows,
Would I feel happy never seeing such beauty again? Would the end of my life really be such a gain, If I were no longer here?
No more beautiful butterflies, Things about which I rhapsodise, No more fields of lowing cows, Nor pussycats purring meows.
The things that I love, so dearly I would see no more , so clearly If I were no longer here.
No more fun laughter for me forever hereafter No more giggles smiles Nor funny internet files.
The things I feel happiest doing I would no longer be viewing If I were no longer here.
No more beautiful sunshine Nor wet sandy shoreline Not a single baby animal, Making me joyfully lachrymal.
All these joys in this wonderful world Would no longer be unfurled If I were no longer here.
No more love for me would I feel Life goes around like a wheel No more loving kisses a hug. going to bed all secure and snug.
All these things in my life would no longer Be there for me out yonder. Life I WILL live! How COULD I miss all this?
