memories or laughter

i want raw emotions about suicide or a funny child poem
my rules
suicide entry must be of a true suicide
this contest is a dedication to my brother
soren died november 1995 the day after thanksgiving
he was born september 27
i am usually depressed from late august til mid january
it doesnt get easier like people say
i find it is harder over time cause he is not here for all the knew things
i expect you to read my poem first its title is Where Is Everyone Who Loves Me
i want you to write like me the why u think they chose suicide not about you missing them this isnt a cruelness request it is to help me deal with perspective as to why people choose suicide
the child poem i would like to see stuff u wrote in collaberation with your child
reason it gives u a moment of 1 on 1 time together and 2 it boosts the childs ego to see the work on allpoetry
i have poems my son and i have written if u need an example our latest was actually a song
3 Wishes and a Lollipop
these r the only rules
i dont care if u use short hand like me
i dont care if u spell correctly
please put it in english cause that is my only language
i hope this is fun or good for ur soul
write write write
1 more thing if child poem or song please dont make it more than 20 lines i bore easily
ok allowing prewrites but only on the suicide issue becuz my goal w the other 1 song or child poem was to include ur child at this moment in ur writing
