To young
Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)
Am I to young for suicide
Can young people end it, or do we have to much to live for.
It might be to early
But I will become an old man
An old man with a tough exterior but the bravery of a rabbit
Will I then be able to do it
It might be better to do it now.
To make sure I won't become that old, timid man who believes he has to much to live for.
It might be better to commit physical suicide before I commit philosophical suicide.
Before I grow up to see my failures.
Before I turn into the old man, who sits alone in the apartment, with his whiskey, thinking of what could have been.
It ought to be better to do it now
