Would any good come of it if I wasn't here?
  
If I so chose it the end could be near.
  
In this moment of confusion it's so hard to make sense,
 
I can't fathom out what is future or past tense.
 
The mistakes of the past are vivid in my mind,
 
I am so lost right now I may as well be blind.
 
Who would benefit if tomorrow I was gone?
 
Would anyone rejoice if I had seen my last dawn?
  
I know there will be those who would weep for a while,
 
My little girl would now walk herself down the aisle.
 
No father son camp for my young lad and me,
 
Next to his uncle round the camp fire he'd be.
 
I'd miss out on so many things I could've looked forward to,
 
Lost forever in a moment of despair, when this seems the right thing to do.
 
Aside from the fact of everything I'd now miss,
 
How selfish am I to put those I love through all this.
 
What if my thinking is incredibly wrong,
 
I must know before something irreversible is done.
 
I'm not going to allow my final curtain to come down or the fat lady to sing,
 
Having thought about it, no good will it achieve, let's see what tomorrow will bring....

Having read both of your poems it's a fact one in four suffer with depression. I'm glad to see that in  "your personal journey" you are able to write about it and confront depression in the way you have.
