LAST MEMORY by arquette
if i died tonight
would they notice
if i died tonight
would they care
if i died tonight
they'de never take me for granted
but then...
it would be too late
if i fell down that shaft
to the vast darkness
that surrounds me
would it hurt
if i slit that blade
to draw the blood
would it hurt
if this was all an accident
would it still hurt
so i ask you now...
would you still take me for granted
if you knew all this could happen to me
would you cry
if it did
would you care
would you remember
how you treated me
would you know
if it was all your fault....
or try to forget
the truth

All teenagers feel that way and you will live through it . Most of the time it is because they were just rejected by " the one " when they haven't been around long enough to find that one yet . Trust in this time may not bring wisdom but it does give a sense of prospective because it makes you see that the world is not a static picture it is a movie or to update that not mpeg it is wmr . just sit back and enjoy the ride and remember that when bad things happen it will make you appreciate the good things that much more !

It's really good. You have a way with imagery and words. I think it's saying that you feel unappreciated or even unnoticed by your parents and friends. Suicide is a cheap shot at trying to manipulate a guilt trip on others. Remember, though, that taking your own life is no one else's fault. It's a choice you make and therefore it can be only your own fault.

In my opinion What it's saying is
"Here, I am, feeling singular and depressed."
I don't strictly see it as a self pity party, but certainly a call for some attention.
On a very personal note, I'd hope it isn't a warning note, but it might be very narrowly directed at someone, or persons, and hopefully it has been, or will be shared with them. I say that because I feel as if you've alluded to the fact that someone should feel guilty for being unaware of you.

Yes, I like it alot!!! This is a great poem!!!
If something bad happened would the people who took them for granted care and regret how they treated them, neglected them. It's asking would those people feel bad when the person is gone, would they wish they hadn't done whatever they did.
I don't think it is depressing at all. And I don't think it is a suicide note.

That's really deep but I like deep so I thought it was good. It seems to me like you feel invisible and taken for granted and that maybe you have alot of resentment towards someone who has hurt you. even though I like deep it is a tad bit depressing.

I think it's fantastic. Really depressing though. It seems like your trying to say that you wonder if anyone would notice if you died. Like, if anyone would actually care.

i see this as a cry for help. No don't get the wrong impression, like i think your a suicidal person, but a cry for attention. you could use a hug or a good cry, as corny as it seams, it works.
Best of Luck!

If this is a suicide note don't even think about it. Life goes on for those who are still alive.
