Tonya Kincheloe - Suicide wish

Everyone wishes
Upon a star.
But their wishes
Consist of good things
Happy things like
Horses, cats, and clouds.
Some wish for
Houses for the homeless.
Money for the poor.
Some wish for more wishes.
But me.
My wishes are bad.
I see a star.
The first star tonight.
I make a wish.
I fall to the floor.
I was limp.
I made a wish.
A suicide wish.
