Poem -
Goodbye
Who would care
if I were to disappear?Β
Leave the earthΒ
and a life of fear.Β
I loved you
and you loved me
but I don't know
if it's meant to be.Β
Please forgive me
I can't stay
I'm not a person
you can love this way.Β
You didn't miss a sign
you did nothing wrong.Β
I've been like this
for far to long.Β
If you get angry
that's okay
you didn't wish
for this day.
My light is fading
falling from the sky
I've made the decision
it's my time to die.Β

virtual strangers.Β
I hope it is not entirely true

acceptance as the pathway of lifeΒ
love & peace from me - Jai:)Β
Hello Jai, I wrote this while listening to this song and maybe some of it is reflective of myself, as a piece of me is in all my poetry, but it was more of me thinking about all those who truly believe no one would care and they don't matter and of course Chester. Acceptance of my life as it is and everything that comes to me is meant to happen and with every bad there will be a good some ways down the road I just have to look forward to it :)Β

Hi, Lily!
Your poem is very heartfelt and raw!
Life can be such a struggle and being truly loved, and treasured, is a precious thing! We all matter! β€οΈ
I wish you a great day!

Thank you Londa, that is how it was supposed to be. His songs pull out emotions and words I might not otherwise feel if I'm not listening to them. Life is a struggle for us all, and that is true, we all matter.Β
Wishing you a great day as well!Β

Hi, Lily!
For sure! I love Linkin Park and Chester's amazing voice and passion! He will be sorely missed along with another phenomenal talent, his dear friend, Chris Cornell. (one of my favorite male voices ever) Very sad!
Depression does not discriminate and it does not matter how much one has, it sadly comes-down to how wounded the soul is. :(
Thank you for sharing.Β
As a complete stranger but fellow poet and friend you never asked for, I would miss you.Β
Β
Thank you Lo :) It's uplifting to know that I would be missed. However I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon :)Β

Hey LILY!!...... such a well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered piece!!.....perfect for the loss of such a great artist!!..... when I lived in Chicago, which was only last year, one of the big musical venues is in Lincoln Park so you can imagine the tribute concerts that went on there!!..... Linkin' was such a popular band there......this absolutely beautiful dear poet sister!!.....PINNED this one!!....... stay groovy my friend!!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo ?ββ΄β³β₯
Thanks so much T, I'm honored that you pinned this one. It was an emotional one to write because Linkin Park and Chester were such an important part of my childhood. I grew up listening to him and have always loved their music. It's always been painful to listen too. Even when I didn't understand the words I'd get sad sometimes and now I can just sit and completely get immersed in their songs and feel a deeper meaning in each and every one of them. I never got to see them unfortunately, but I once had a dream about singing on stage with them at a huge concert and it was an amazing dream! I don't doubt the number of tributes they had there. it made me cry when I watched a video with people all around the world having memorials for him. The world lost another brilliant soul that day...this is one of my most emotional, raw writes I think. i cried and even had to stop while writing it. Thank you again :)Β

This piece was so sad, but I love it, as I do all your works.
It was a tough one to write. I had to stop for awhile because I got so emotional. I listened to this song on repeat while writing and music has a tendency to make me feel certain emotions quite strongly. thank you so much BookWorm that really means a lot to hear you say that :)Β

I listen to music every time I write. (Or at least when I can, can't at school sadly) it helps you feel certain emotions to write better works. Take my poem "At the club" for example. I was listening to nightcore dubstep. Nightcore is the only thing I listen to and the emotions it makes me feel help for better writes. Writing and music go to get her like two peas in a pod, don't you think?
With such raw simplicity you've captured the very profound despair in which so many of us live...and in which many die. The great insight of this piece; beautifully conveyed in the above-quote lines: is that all the love and attention in the world cannot save some people from themselves and their own demons.
Beautifully written with heartfelt emotional truth...which is precisely what we've come to expect of you, Lily.
