A guest at my funeral

Topic:
Suicide
|
This is my first glimpse
At my closed eyelids
Which are to open never more
My best suit covers
My cold, stiff body
Human spectacle, I abhor
Please, forget me not
Though time will heal all
Posthumous canonization
Incense and tears mix
The bell tolls for me
Driving home the realization
Memories are shared
Stop shedding me tears
Front and center, I want to hide
Friends and confidants
Never recognized
I now retract my suicide

Interesting write. How many really do commit suicide only to find their souls wishing, they wouldn't have? I tried some stupid stuff in my younger years, I can honestly say...I'm glad I'm still here. Thanks for sharing.
Peace, Laura |

im not sure why, but i really like the last line.
i've been having issues lately & this poem helps me want to hang on & hope for the best. most problems are temporary, but suicide is forever.
nicely written

| Like any poet with talent: you have a clencher at the end....Er...I still haven't seen much optimism. Doesn't matter, you're good. |
