Recent Suicide's Poem

Found off the internet. He drowned himself in the Tenn. River recently.

----------------------- AND HIS TWIN BROTHER WERE
DIAGNOSED WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS AS TEENAGERS.
------------ ENJOYS CLEANING, WORKING, PLAYING
SPOONS, STUDYING MUSIC AND SCIENCE, WATCHING
CARTOONS, EXERCISING, WRITING POETRY, AND ESPECIALLY
PLAYING GAMES OF STRATEGY AND CHANCE.

I am so happy I am not sure why
Like a prize in a Cracker Jack box
Such
an unexpected surprise
And I feel so pumped up with joy
As I wonder
shall we be together soon again
For with the dice of fate, I dare do not toy
Yet I keep hoping somehow we can be close friends
So moved by your
radiant spirit
So happy you are alive
If you are touched, yes I’m glad
to hear it
May we spread angels’ wings and thrive
No I don’t know how to
tell you
How sorry I am for acting like such a fool
But now I know that
you lay close crafty kangaroo
So know, your prosperity I wish to feel
No
I don’t know how to dispel the truth
But I know that these good memories
don’t change
And this beautiful sensation stands as utter proof
Yes this
life evolves delightfully strange
There is always a vision in the darkness
Even the blind are never totalIy blind
And even when the world is at its
darkest black
It is so beautiful and kind
And I am so happy
And I
think that I know why
It’s just the knowledge you are somewhere near
Exploring the corridors of your life
Yes it’s just the knowledge
that you are out there somewhere
Experiencing life

  1. Have you considered getting all of these together in a book? They are vary good, and honest. I imagine they would be well received if put together and called something like ‘The Road to Self Destruction’. I’m not referring to financial success unfortunately, but success in the way of people finding meaning and solace in them as well as relating to them on a personal level.

  2. That's a pretty good idea, and probably done before. A collection of poems written by suicides. This one here I posted was written a good 5 years before the guy killed himself. The post on the internet had his name, but I left it out so he could remain anonymous. Also, doing a project like that would require permissions from a lot of people, the family of the suicides and could prove problematic there.
