One Shot of a Gun

by LiL One   Dec 7, 2003


For Jamie everything has been going wrong,
It seems as if her heart is no longer strong.
It all started when her boyfriend dumped her,
and all of her emotions were in a blur.
Then her mom got cancer,
Alls she wanted from god was an answer.
She hadn't done anything bad,
So why is the reason she is so sad?
Next thing that happened was her grandpa died,
and please believe that she cried.
Her life could not have been much worse,
Its almost as if she was cursed.
She was near rock bottom and ready for her life to end,
When finally she lost her best friend.
Her friend could not cope with her depression,
so she left her without a discretion.
What was little Jamie to do,
she felt as if her life was through,
so young and naive,
alls she could do was grieve.
She decided there was no point to suffer through this,
and the fact that she felt she shouldn't exist.
So her decision was easy,
even though she felt kinda uneasy.
so when she was home alone she wrote a letter,
and explained how killin herself would make it all better.
She told her mom she loved her,
and told her old boyfriend and best friend that this is what she prefers,
and that should would send grandpa her love in heaven,
and she pulled the trigger at ten to eleven.
She instantly took her own life,
all because of her strife.
See if Jamie had thought,
she would have seen that she was hurting others a lot.
Because she didn't seek help for her troubles,
now her mothers problems have doubled.
She did not realize that people loved her,
and how special she was.
So she decided to end her problems,
through one shot of a gun.

    Very good... especially not being through the situation... i think it takes a lot to be able to pull a poem together when referring to something you haven't delt with first hand...

    Your poem was well written, but I have to agree with Amy that you didn't really get the emotion behind the victim. Yes, they should think about what they're doing to other people, but you also have to see what they think and feel and what they have to live with everyday. Anyways, great writing though!

    urs may not be based on a true story. but a boy in my school that i knew commited suicide with a gun just last week. we live in a small town and everyone was affected by it. this is a very touchy subject and although you wrote about it i dont think you caught the true feeling of what its like to want to die, if u havent felt it then u cant explain it! believe me i would know...
    but it was still well written! good job....
