Silent suicide
Tonight
I've made up my mind
With thoughts so unkind
I'm outta here
I'll take
Private initiation
Of inebriation
And you can cheer
You can put the flags out
Can dance and shout
I'll exit stage right
You can pop the champagne
And cheer again and again
I'm out of your sight
Read the rest of the poem Show less
At last
You'll hear me no more
What you've waited for
I'll slip away
No more
Treacle sickly words from me
Or wearing my heart on my sleeve
Your sanity is saved
You can hang up the bunting
Musicians can start trumpeting
No need to hide
I don't even need the manners
To acknowledge your banners
With my silent suicide

"Suicide is only painless if you succeed. When you find yourself in hospital surround with drips and life-support having failed, it's painful to watch what it did to family and friends. Also, most people who commit suici…" - April 2010
