Orhan Veli Kanik

13 April 1914 – 14 November 1950 / İstanbul

Suicide

I shall die without anyone knowing,
There shall be
a little blood by my mouth.
The ones who don't know me shall say
'He definitely loved someone'.
And the ones who know me shall say,
'Poor thing, he suffered a lot'
But the real reason
Shall be none of these.
