The Serenity of Despair

Disclaimer:  I am not posting this because I am thinking of or considering suicide, I wrote this because I was listening to a very sad song, but the sadness was beautiful, so I thought that I wanted to make death beautiful….


It’s at this point that I let go
My mind, My body, My soul
I let them all go
I fall, I drown, I give in
I love the serenity of despair
No hope, no prayer, no light
This is easy
Painless, forgiving, kind
I fall, but not because I am too weak to stand
I fall because I am too strong to hope
I stand on the edge
It’s like hell
But when I jump-it’s over
When I jump, I’m free
and I die
And dying is okay
There is serenity in despair
