Her Last Poem
She liked to lose herself in poetry
Where she could wander off peacefully
And write of a world that was pain free
Where she wasn’t viewed differently
But no one ever read her words
Her recital of rhymes was never heard
This was a journey others thought absurd
As she wept with the sorrow of a caged bird
The last poem she ever wrote
Is the only one her mom can quote
In the form of a suicide note
Just before the pills slid down her throat
