Suicide Angel
they were all there
the signs
neon
pastel
greyscale
signs
I guess they saw them at the time
but maybe she's just attention-seeking
right
they even saw her self-harm wounds
her emotional pain
externalised
and yet none of them
even
realised
or maybe they tried
but it wasn't enough
so she took her own life
and now they analyse
everything
even her Facebook status updates
analyse
everything
every detail
every sign
they see the signs
they panic now
but she's already dead
and the next one
is forming plans
in her head
but nobody is even noticing
yet
