The Suicide's Soliloquy The Suicide's Soliloquy is an unsigned poem, thought to be written by Abraham Lincoln, first published on August 25, 1838, in "The Sangamo Journal", a four-page Whig newspaper in Springfield, Illinois. News of the poem first arose shortly after Lincoln's assassination when one of Lincoln's personal friends, Joshua Speed, told William Herndon, Lincoln's biographer, that Lincoln had written a poem about suicide. The poem proved to be impossible to track down until 2004, when Richard Miller, an independent writer discovered the supposed poem. Although the poem seems to follow the same themes and style as Lincoln's other works, there is still controversy over whether or not it was actually written by Lincoln.
