here's a poem i wrote partly based on hamlet and partly based on my own experiences:
To die...
Too much hurt for me to take – Sometimes I fear that I may break. Events conspire to cause me pain, Ache my heart and pound my brain. I long to die and be set free. How wonderful to cease to be! Violent thoughts spin round my head But I cannot act with limbs of lead. The weight of conscience weighs me down For to this life I have been bound. Dare I risk Almighty’s wrath By straying from His chosen path? I must choose twixt life and death – Solid flesh or final breath – But can I gamble eternal life Just to ease my earthly strife? I would my own quietus make But there is just too much at stake.

that's an awful thing to say and if that's how you feel, i'm praying for you. i was suicidal for several years, so i know what it feels like to be in that place, but i pulled through and now i've found incredible peace and joy in god - things can and do get better if you only HOLD ON. the whole point of the poem is that there's too much to lose by suicide - life is precious so hold on to it.

Oh wow, glad to see you're not suicidal, it's axtually very beautiful in it's own little way. I guess this is the way that a lot of people feel when it's just terrible. But great job on this!!
