Suicide Note

Bongumusa Manzini

Thou come to me unanticipated and unbidden

Thou come to me when I’m melancholy and lifeless

Thou come flooding my body with dirty thoughts

Thou whisper in low persuading voice in my ears


I do not invite you to my life yet you’re always around

I don’t wanna listen to thou though you abruptly insist

I can’t take any advice from you, you’re deceitful

No one listens to you and comes back happily alive


I’m not saying you’re wrong nor right yet you’re an ideal option

Yet you always give me a simple reason to go ahead

I need to rest for a while these things are getting better not

Prolly everyone who listens to you were at their lowest
