Suicide Note
April 22, 2016
I opened my eyes for the first time.
I didn’t know if it was a crime.
I saw the blue sky and cloud were floating,
And I realized- I was falling.
There was a void within me,
With a few words written in thee.
When I reached the ground, I was hurt no more.
No agony, no toiling sore.
As I looked deeper into me,
This was all I could see-
“I quit! But I’ll always love you-Mom and Dad”
I wondered-
The great times they must have had.
Such a beautiful world and yet he ran.
Oh! What I would give to be human.

Most poets create poems by expressing their feelings. That fact and your poem put together is causing me to worry. Are you okay? If you need help talk to someone. You can even talk to me if you want.
