Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
that suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.

Listen, I know you don't know me from Adam's off ox, but I know there are people you have touched and influenced, and I think that you've left people with some positive things. I just wanted to say...hang in there, I think you're worth it...
Even in moments when self-annihilation seems the only path available, and you feel surrounded by insurmountable cliffs, there's always another option: as slow, painful, and difficult as it may be, you can try to chip away at the walls to make a shelter. It's not a permanent solution, but it gives you a chance to contemplate the situation, and who knows? Rescuers may come in the meantime.
Living is a damned hard pill to swallow, but with refreshment, patience and care, you can get it down - and things will start feeling better.
