I decided my own death (Yukio Mishima)
Life was a play for me, whose last act I decided myself. Shame was not part of my plans, the soldiers laughed and mocked me. I escaped my shame by dying like a warrior, I had made myself a warrior, but I was a fool to people. I decided my own death, my last act, but I did not take Japan with me. They would have needed me. A poet's note. Yukio Mishima was a Japanese writer who committed seppuku after his failed "coup".
