He sat alone so quiet
And tried to disappear
Faded into blackness
No one seemed to hear
Too big to be invisible
Still seems to be the case
People all around him
And no one see's his face
Sorry didn't see you
Sorry, what's your name
Sorry, are you new here
It's always been the same
People overlook him
Sometimes they make fun
At least that's if they see him
He hates them, every one
Met his eyes at lunch one day
Sitting with my friends
Never knowing he would choose
That night for life to end
Heard it on the intercom
A name I didn't know
I recognized the pictures
The staff began to show
It always makes me wonder
If only I'd said hi
If only I'd have known his name
Would he still choose to die?

I really really like this poem out of the other ones. It sent chills over me actually, cuz i've met a couple of dudes like that at our school, and they are really awesome friends once you get to know them. Nice one, i really enjoyed it.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. It's a true story too. This guy really did commit suicide and the only time I ever even saw him happened to be the day he died. I can't believe I actually feel guilty for not knowing somebody but I do. I mean, not that I could help it, we just never met, but I still wonder would I have gotten to know him even if we had? Somehow I don't think so as much as it depresses me to say that.

that is a really deep poem Elisha. Don't feel guilty, it wasn't your fault. But it is very unfortenate. Wonderfully writen as usual.

Thanks, James. I know I shouldn't but I still feel like somebody should, you know. Because even though he was the one that pulled that trigger, it was still murder in a way. It might not have been my fault, but it was somebody's.

I really like your peom. This just adds reason to be friendly to every1 for me. To tell you the truth I'm accually one of those over looked people and I did almost kill myself once. All it takes is one person and you never know if you said hey to him that day maybe he wouldnt have killed himself. I don't want to make you feel guilty because it wasn't your fault but in my case it took one person and I didn't do the unthinkable. Just something to think about I guess...

Thank you so much, it's always good to know you've got friends but you don't have to worry. I could never bring myself to end my own life, and what would it solve? Nothing. Besides, we're all going to die anyway, why make it sooner than it already has to be? And I could never hurt the people that care about me like that.
