Rooftop

poem by: R.T. Aquinas
Written on Feb 28, 2020

Why am I here? Why did I stay?
All my loved ones gone far far away
They're on the other side
While I'm still on this ride

Yesterday, I could bear it no more
I stood on the rooftops and I fell to the floor
I'm still here though: not gone yet
If there's a plan for me, I'd like to see it

Not a scratch on me
I'm lucky? I'm not sure
But please someone tell me:
What am I looking for?

Who says I'm lucky?
I didn't want to survive
After all, that's the point of trying
To take your own life.
