Dear God, if you put me here for a reason <br />I'd like to know what it is <br />The world leaves me cold, <br />I'm nobody, and nowhere <br />Finds more of me all the time <br />How did I get so lost? <br /> <br />'Wonderful clear diction <br />Such imagery and abstraction <br />Carries the reader along on the journey! ' <br /> <br />I can't see any reason to go on anymore <br />Everyone I ever loved has left me <br />I sit and stare in the mirror for hours <br />Trying to find some reason not to do it <br />But I'm running out of excuses <br /> <br />'Amazing depth behind the pathos <br />Where did you learn to write with such feeling? <br />Please enlighten us further.' <br /> <br />Dear God, I think I've reached it <br />The end of my rope <br />The next sound you hear <br />Will be the echo of my departing from this world <br />I hope everyone realizes <br />This is not meant to hurt anyone <br />It seems to be the only way out of my pain <br /> <br />'Honey, I think you've found the poetry board by accident. <br />I think you were looking for suicide prevention...' <br />'Honey.... <br />Hey are you still there....?
