The Sound of Suicide

People, looking like ants scurrying down below Nobody see's me, nobody knows The pressure I feel, and how I'm alone A whole world full of people, and not one notice me On the edge of a skyscraper, Right on the edge As broken as one could possibly be The sound of suicide is silence It's as simple as a jump or a click on the trigger of a gun Suicide, silent, if it's done right Here I go, lifting my foot up high Losing my balance upon the edge I put my foot back on the ledge I close my eyes Take a deep breath I open my eyes for one last time I say goodbye And then I jump.

Caitt,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
