We see it all the time.
We see it on the news.
We never think that
It will happen to us.
But one day,
One day, I'm afraid
It will be me.
I'll be the one whose
Picture is shown in
Black and white.
I'm the one who will
Never be heard from again.
I'm the one who will
Never see her family again.
I'm the one who is going
To be gone before their time.
I'm the one who is just
Going to suddenly
Disappear.

Pretty... uh... not good. Yet. Help? This was inspired by a random thought and I didn't want to lose it, so I wrote it down. So yeah... help me revise and stuff?

Yeah, I would say that should be the rough draft of the poem.

When a poem doesen't rhyme, it has to be different in another way. For example.

If you made it more mystical, or significant. Like your other poem, where the leaf was being blown in the wind. You took an insignificant thing, and made it amazing.

Something like this should be enshrouded in mystery. If you dissapeared where would you go? Who woudl have taken you? what will they think of you before you dissapeared? These are the questions your poem needs.

Atleast in my opinion.

Another good way is if you put this in beat poetry form. this would be perfect for beat poetry.
