Would You...?


Today I live! But what if tomorrow I died? Would you care? Would you cry? Would you hope for me to rise And live eternally in the skies? Would you wish upon a star Hoping I would not go to far? Would you tell the people I care about That I don't want them to pout And not to miss me because I'll be near? Or would you tell them the lies you hear, Not knowing the things I hold dear? Would you cry when you heard my name And think that you were the one to blame? Or would you curse upon my name And say that I brought you shame? I state the truth to you today Hoping that you just might pray! For today is Wednesday, Tomorrow is Thursday But on Friday my life starts to look grey!

I wrote this poem in April of 2005 when I was 17. In today's world with so much suicide it seems even more relevant then it did then. I hope you enjoyed it,
