See you soon,
Black bird,
Bird of death—
I am alone in the wheat field
With a gun in hand
I Pull
The trigger—
The splash of red
On the borrowed gun
Sorry neighbor,
I wasn’t shooting crows after all.
Instead,
I’m rotting decay of human flesh
No more misery
From this black bleak storm of sorrow,
Called life—
Now, in death,
I lay in the emptiness of the vast paths
Once a lonely old soul,
Now I am as free as the night sky
Where the crows roam

Description:
This is a poem I wrote in 12th grade in a creative writing class.
I was inspired by the painting "Wheat Field with Crows" by Van Gogh and his suicide.
"Wheat Field with Crows" was his last painting before he shot himself. - Date: 01/24/2009
