TEMPT ME NOT OH DARKENED DAY,
FOR SLEEP TO COME, TO REST GIVE WAY.

TEMPT ME NOT, THIS FALLING NIGHT.
TO CLOSE MY EYES, GIVE UP THE FIGHT.

THOUGH REST IS NEEDED, A PEACEFULL GIFT.
I PRAY THE LIGHT MY SOUL TO LIFT.

TO PROP ME UP, TO SHORE MY WILL.
FOR THE ROAD IS LONG, WITH DANGERS STILL.

I CARE NOT, FOR THAT QUIET HOUR.
WHERE SLEEP LAYS WAITING TO STRIP MY POWER.

THERE IS NO GIFT LIKE THAT OF LIFE.
DESPITE ALL TOIL, INSPITE OF STRIFE.

SO DO NOT SPEAK TO ME OF REST.
SO LATE THE HOUR, SO QUICK THE QUEST.

THANX FOR READING xShUgArHiGhx. I'd just finished reading NOWHERE and thought yikes I,d be afraid to write a suicide note.They confuse me. If your doing yourself in because nobody cares then who's going to read the note and if they do, would they care? On the other hand if you think your going to hurt someone with your death and note then some one really does care so your suicide is selfish and invalid. = waste of good time. SO I thought, maybe an attitude change?= Tempt me not. Thanx it's cool to be read I ain't never been read before exept for my hair.
