If I'm not here today, I won't be tomorrow,
I know all your hearts are filled with sorrow.

You can't understand the pain I've endured,
Mainly an illness, that could not be cured.

I've known all along I'd take my own life,
Needed to prove I was a good mom and wife.

With that feeling fulfilled I have moved on,
The pain's too great, the afterlife too strong.

I hope I did well by family and friends,
I tried everything to tie up loose ends.

I lay my head down peacefully at last,
For the pain has finally passed.
