    I realized once that life is a game
    All about setting goals and achieving some fame
    I couldn't figure it out, this game of life
    So I mournfully decided to resort to a knife

    Into my left shoulder, then to my right wrist
    A chill down my back, my breathing goes stiff
    I sat in total darkness watching the light
    As it crept closer and closer into my sight

    Blood was everywhere in this horrible train wreck
    There were even stained streaks all across my smooth neck
    I had mutilated myself, made sure I went through
    With this heavy burdon I have placed upon you

    I feel angry to say I left my life this way
    But there was no more life to which I could stay
    I'm trusting you to read this letter
    To see how sad I was, and that this way it's better

    You may feel you have no one
    When people stare and call you a whore
    But I promise when this is through, you might have loved me
    But I loved you more

    I like the closing stanza. Very well timed! We seem to get a lot of cutters on here. Gives me the shivers. And that crytic, mocking title- ouch!
