in regards to your wishes — Summary

i'm sorry we are not excepting anyone anytime soon hopefully never again in regards to your wishes we hope you'll be fine we hope you won't do it we hope we don't have to see you here

in regards to your wishes don't blow out every candle in one breath don't look up at the first star of the night in regards of your wishes please don't die

this is a note sent to you to your wishes you wishes of death peace ending finality

in regards to your wishes we have wishes too we wish you stay safe we wish you don't end your life it isn't fun here this place is full of pain we want to end it

we don't want to see another human being here don't use the knife razor blade rope pills don't jump don't give up you will be missed and we hate when we have someone knew come here

in regards to your wishes we cannot accept anyone else for further notice don't kill yourself we would hate for more pain to be caused suicide doesn't end the pain it just hands it to someone else we would know... we killed ourselves too...

Written as an official-sounding note, the poem speaks directly to someone who is thinking about suicide. The bureaucratic phrase "in regards to your wishes" is twisted into something tender and desperate. It even plays on the idea of birthday or star wishes, as the speaker begs the reader not to blow out every candle or look up at the first star, because those wishes might be for death.

The speaker's feeling is a mix of fear, pleading, and weary sadness. The voices say "we" and describe the place they are in as full of pain, a place where no one else should arrive. The list of methods is blunt, but each is followed by a simple request to stay. The final lines reveal the twist: the speakers are people who have already died by suicide, and they know it did not end their pain.

The mood is heavy, urgent, and protective. The plain wording makes it feel sincere rather than polished, like a warning from people who wish they could undo their choice.
