Suicide Note
August 31, 2015
When I was young
There was a song I sung
About ashes and ashes
My past is
The art on my canvas
When they call my name for attendance
I'll remain and empty seat
And with a last goodbye
The bottom of this building
Kisses my feet

This might be my new favorite poem. Amazing job. I love this line "When they call my name for attendance I'll remain and empty seat.".

This is beautiful. I also live in Queens! Wouldn't it be cool if we knew each other?

This is a beautiful poem. I am absolutely addicted to the end line itself... "The bottom of this building kissed my feet..." Marvelous, I'm in love with this piece!!!! :, )))) - True Love
The people with the brightest smiles had the hardest past. I was a mess without God.
