Here's to Me

a suicidal song

 

Here's to the boys I never kissed

To all my exes I never missed

Here's to my friends on the internet

To my own darling whom I never met

Here's to the gown I'll never wear

To all the children I will never bear

Here's to my mother and her pity shares

To my old dad who never really cares

 

Here's my shot at life

Box of pills and a kitchen knife

Here's to the girl that was never me

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

Here's my shot at life

A stolen gun and a kitchen knife

Here's to the heaven I will never see

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

 

Here's to the tears I haven't shed

To all my thoughts I have left unsaid

Here's to the joy I never knew

To all the promises I'll never do

Here's to the candles I'll never blow

To hopeful dawn that will never show

Here's to the faith I now forsake

To the fruits of this one mistake

 

Here's my shot at life

Box of pills and a kitchen knife

Here's to the girl that was never me

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

Here's my shot at life

A stolen gun and a kitchen knife

Here's to the heaven I will never see

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

Author's Note

Avril Lavigne will be perfect for this song. :)

This is kinda cheery for a suicidal song... but it's good. You have good rhymes.

[FlatLineBeauty]

Wow this was really good, Blue. Hmm, I wonder have you ever heard of Emilie Autumn. This sounds like something she would write. If you get the chance look her up and her song Orpheliac. I don't know if it is your style of music or not, but you may like her. xo Winter

You'd need someone talented for this song ;) nice one.

[Latifa]

i like the rythme great one

[Mae Taylor]

Your creativity knows no bounds. I love the way you can make a sad subject be related in a sardonically happy way, this for me puts even more emotion behind the words and gives the reader a solid feeling to grab a hold of while reading. I loved your use of mentioning all the things in life that she will never get to do or see, again very creative. Great job :)

Great feel in your words and intially the picture scared me but no body actually was killed in the poem.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I was thinking of posting a picture of a real suicide but I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm sorry if the picture scared you, though. :)

Thank you for this review. :)

This would Avril i can imagine her singing this haha.
I liked this peace it flows and rhymes well, and sounds very poetic.
Well written :)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Avril has the right voice and attitude for this one. She's one of my favorite singers. Thank you, Cimmy! :)

[cimmy wuv xxxooo]

she is a good singer i like her to :)
Your most welcome :)

The poem becomes the song.. A little dark for public consumption as it seams a cry for attention as pending taking ones own life. Hope it is just lyrics. Trace

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

This wasn't supposed to be a suicide song. Funny how free writing messes up with my original plans. :)

[Pryde Foltz]

There is a certain amount of odd strength to this piece. I think it lies in the irony. Great write.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I'm glad you sensed that "odd strength". Thank you, Pryde. :)

[dillonjensen]

I like this a lot. It's supposed to come off as dark in a way, but to me it highlights struggles that many people go through on a daily basis. Well done!

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Isn't it alarming how often suicidal thoughts haunt a teenage mind? I'm shocked to have those kind of thoughts myself.

Thank you for this, Dillon. :)
