suicide notes

i've written
over a thousand
suicide notes
in my head

i never got the courage
to hold a pen
and write down
the miseries
i feel
in my heart

on a paper so fragile
i could barely
scribble a word
without tearing
and crumpling the paper
into a ball
and toss it away
into a basket full of unfinished letters

i'd rather keep them
in my head
where i push them
into a storage box
deep in the far corner
of my brain;
it's not seen
but it's not gone
for it will always be there
to remind me
the pain.
