my own aunt
my own aunt said "why don't you end it all ? Just take you own life and end this call. Stop threatening to leave us in despair Do it quickly and we won't have to be scared." I tried to explain, "it's not that bad. I just want some help to make me glad. I'm not a monster, just a human in need so why must I suffer and be made to bleed?" But still, she insisted,"it's better to go. Leave us in peace, and don't let us know. You won't have to worry, it'll all be done Don't come back, just let us be as one." The words still haunt me, the darkness still surrounds me. As I sit here wondering why she said such a thing It's a cruel and sickening concept, but I can't deny That my own aunt said it's better I commit suicide.
