Water Edge Suicide Poem by Amy Louise Kerswell

Here I am above the sea'
Sat on the rocks thinking and dying.
Just what is there left for me?
A life of fear and pain in the unknown.

I walk down to the sand
As iI take of my shoes shaking are my hands.
One bare foot placed in front of the other
These are my last steps to freedom.

I walk in to the sea.
Futher and futher I walk.
Waves getting water getting colder.
I walk on without fear,
I am not afraid.
It’s no more threatening
Than the life I shall leave behind me..

Now as I throw My head back.
And sway with the roaring waves
Awaiting my death.
And the final attack.

Amongst this freezing cold water.
Now savaging my body

I take one last look
I have no last regrets.
My eyes have now closed.
At last I am free
