Patiently waiting to take my own life.
I marked it with an X, November the ninth.
Oh wait, there's an event already set to take place.
A business trip to Tampa for 3 to 4 days.
I guess I can move it, to a later date.
Now to pick a spot to finalize my fate.
My son's recital, I can't miss that.
He plays the saxophone and wears that jazzy hat.
Hmmmm, this month is full.I can't find a spot.
Even for death, a time is difficult to allot.
So, I move it forward 30 squares.
Should it matter? Nobody cares.
Except maybe my daughter, who is tying the knot.
I'm supposed to walk her down the isle, I'm the only dad she's got.
I'll wait until she's gone and has stopped calling to cry.
So that I can finally schedule in my plan to die.
I wish I was a better husband to my fed up wife.
So that I wouldn't be patiently waiting to take my own life.

Seems the subject still has things to live for. Whenever depression rears it's ugly head, it takes a lot of courage to get out of it. Keeping faith is the only remedy. FAITH KEEPS THOSE THAT KEEP THE FAITH - Mother Teresa. I like the insight of the poem. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
