Suicide notes (from Ray's challenge thread)

Dear Dad,

Remember the other day,
when you taught me how to use a nailgun?
When you told me I finally decided
to learn something useful?

Well, I couldn't take your tip
and lean on it to drive it in better
due to my position.
Then again, gray matter is pretty soft.

Love always,
Mike

Dear family,

I was writing
yet another entry in my journal  
about how worthless you are  
and how I want to kill myself,

when I realized
I had no more room in my journal.
I'd have to start a new book
to finish it.

And I hate cliffhanger endings.
