A poem by Izazist

I COMMITED SUICIDE

I committed suicide
by hanging myself:

1. I looked for a strong tree
   in a quiet lonely bush,
   Where no man or animal can witness
   and bear the testimony
   of my solemn act.
2. I waited for sunset.
3. I made sure I carried a strong rope
   that was capable of breaking my neck with swift precision.
   I was careful in selecting the rope
   because I wanted a perfect death.
4. I thought of Mom and Dad,
   My little sister and my girlfriend
   as I put the noose around my neck.
   I know they will be heartbroken at the sight of my suit-clad lifeless body
   dangling from a tree.
5. I thought of God and Satan;
   I wondered who will claim my soul.
6. I held my breath,
   closed my eyes, and leapt.
