Description The seconds are ticking as i sit back and watch
looking around my last time with my hands on the dash
as i rush home to see the pictures on the window pane
so i can savor the happiness captured in the frames

my last few wishes consists of only these:
that my parents resort to disowning me
so my brothers would never take after the black sheep
and just forget that their sister was the shame for the family

but as i sit in the closet polishing it on my knee
my friend for that instant, this toy-like masterpiece
i debate over the contact---on the chest? on the brain?
thinking in my head---"where's the quickest?" "the least pain?"

but vanity soon came over the now hopeless mind
and i realized how unattractive an image a gash would leave behind
so the choice left is the heart...broken like i found her
the decision made hastily as the approaching footsteps grew louder

i quickly scribbled a letter blotted with tears and goodbyes
a short Will at the end of it laid by blankets conveniently on the side
the world's one less a complicated life in just a few moments
what insecurity can lead to...such drastic predicaments...

the space was in commotion for just a split-second
the banging on the door, and panic grew prominent
in the make-shift death-bed, the choice was selfishly made
so with lonesomeness in every orifice...there the corpse laid.

suicide is often quick and thoughtless
it is selfish and lonely
you did a very nice job allotting the rhymescheme to the poem without making it singsongy
making it like cat in the hat as it were
i like the style if it fits the piece of writing
which i believe in this case it does
complacent fears and a permamnent solution to a temporary problem
this is and was the true essence of suicidal bliss
kick painful and then nothing

very artistically done leaving others to imagine the actual death..telling your reads just enough but making them figure out and decide exactly what all happens

imagery was short but so to the point

this is what i'm going to dub
a crisp, cleanly editted, creative piece

it made me want to stop her
