I squeeze off the first shot.

diving for cover.
Another shot rings out,

Now the police are arriving.

Just what I was waiting for.
Their bullets are real,
while mine are only blanks.
I just could not fire that

Assisted Suicide

Topic: Suicide

With much of a struggle
up the tower I climb.
Weighed down by anger,
by sorrow,
by my arsenal.
I reach the top
and quickly remove
the rifle from my pack.
Already loaded and good to go.
I find a target in the crosshairs
of the scope.
I squeeze off the first shot.
Suddenly their is total chaos
people screaming,
diving for cover.
Another shot rings out,
and another and another.
Now the police are arriving.
They call for my surrender
but I answer with another shot.
Now they are firing at me.
Just what I was waiting for.
Their bullets are real,
while mine are only blanks.
I just could not fire that
fatal shot myself.

Oh my god this put chills
down my spine so badly
This is a very clever way
one would commit suicide
I've never even imagined
someone using the law
like that to do that final
ending to a life that one
wasn't strong enough
to do. This was very creative
Keep em' coming

This was a very clever write! Most ways suicide is committed are much too played out. This poem also had nice imagery, I love it.

Take care
