No Attention
you told us goodbye.
we said “see you later.”

only
we didn’t know what "later" meant.

you just smiled,
and waved us away.

the next weekend,
we were visiting you up north.

only this time we understood,
what your goodbye meant.

I’m sorry we didn’t pay any attention.
When we definitely should have.

Only then you wouldn’t have jumped.
A couple months ago, a dear and close friend of mine decided to commit suicide by jumping off of a bridge. This one is for you.

Time somebody told me.
I was wasting my time ganging unworthy friends.
Time somebody told me.
Loving myself is my number one priority
Loving others can come next.
Time somebody told me.
There is no “I” in every single word.
Time somebody told me.
I am beautiful,

And my face is too.
Award-Winning
