Jessica Died Yesterday Poem by Seairra Kyger
Jessica Died Yesterday
Every star
Now floats by
I lay on grass
Wonder why
One time
Every word spilled
Every note cried
Was not worth this
All the blood
Spilled onto tile
Dressed in black
Midnight darkness
I blend in
With everybody
Are we all the same
We all stand
Like soldiers
In a case
One ultimate fate
For which we're made
One last request
Before you go
When you get there
Would you
Let me know
Why should we stay
Somewhere better I know exists
I'd take you there
With these scars upon my wrists
Because these rubber bands
All bend and break
They cannot save us
From what's engraved

This is very well-written. Like all good poems it takes the reader out of his or her comfort zone. The final three lines are outstanding.
