lyrics

TW: Suicide

I write, I write, I write.
I revised the note so many times
because it had to be just right.
It’s rare that I’m left at such a loss for words,
but I can’t think of the right way to say this.
I can’t bear to have my last words be, “I’m sorry.”
I can’t bear to have my story summarized
with an apology,
a tragic ending in my own handwriting.
I have so much left to say.
There’s no good in this goodbye.
So, I finish my lesson plan,
I text my mom back,
I sign the perfect birthday card for my best friend.
I write this poem instead.
