Soup Can (Free verse) by oneglove

Live your life Between shadows and spotlights A love of beauty A taste for fright Someone may notice The eyes in the blinds Your silver and gray Will have their time But you're jumping off buildings Just to part the crowd For someone to notice You can make a sound As you sit up high Ants scurry in throngs You finally know What you knew all along It was never home

jumping off buildings
Just to part the crowd

i like this. because of the cliche first and third lines i think some people may give up on this poem prematurely, but i like the feeling in the last few. as a poem on the subject of suicide, i guess it can't help being a bit over the top, so to speak. consider a different beginning, but keep the end.
