Thirteen Reasons Why.
By: Jay Asher
I get a funny feeling,
it comes from deep inside.
I get all mad and angry,
wanting to go and hide.
My doctor calls it depression,
my dad says it's just me.
But the thoughts and feelings,
no one will ever be able to see.
Some say I'm psycho,
some say I'm just weird.
It's like I'm a different person,
and the old me just disappeared.
I get really edgy,
I want to commit suicide real bad.
Then I get a headache,
followed by feeling sad.
I wish I could get help,
I wish it would go away.
Maybe if I keep praying real hard,
it will some day.

I feel that this poem will fit this book right, Hanna kills herself. She states that the tapes she recorded were for those who had part of her death.  This poem may have a little more than what really could be the situation but it goes well with it because she feels alone. She was more than likely depressed and not feeling the way she should have felt. The feeling of sad and sorrow left her to think that she could not be alive anymore.  She may have wanted to change what she had, or even change the way she was but that wouldn’t be the same. Although she may have thought her life was horrible, was it really that bad to where she needed to commit suiside over? There could have been many other solutions rather than death

  1. I agree with you, Melissa.

    This poem is powerful and definitely speaks to the depression that Hannah must have felt in order to make that final decision.
