Note: I decided to write about my bestfriend Jillian who killed herself, not to long ago,along with her best friend,me. I am not gloryfing suicided or going to tell u a gory story. I just want u to rethink before u go and think about killing yourself...its not a story just the truth

Playing games having
fun was how we spent
our childhood,
never did we realize
that the day would
come when we both
decided it was time
to end it all
sitting in her
basement playing
the wild game
of russian roulette
knowing very well what
was going to happen
the white blank look
on her face
the redness staining her
shirt
how could u have done this?
every breeze,wind,storm
and sun shower reminds me of u

Geesh, this was pretty sad. The very ending made a impact on me. Good job on the poem, sorry about the friend.

I don't think this glorifies suicide at all. I think it's a great example of how tragic and horrifying it is. It has such an impact on people's lives. This poem seems very well done to me. The ending of it kind of gave me the chills, it really tells how suicide is not something you do to yourself, but something you do to everyone that knows you.

Wow. I too was touched by the ending..and the entire poem. I know many people who have thought about doing this, myself included.. and this just wraps up how tragic it is..thanks for sharing it...
