Why doesn't my post show on my blog home page?

Why doesn’t one of my posts show on my blog page? When I look at the posts I’ve written, it’s there, but when I look at the page everyone can see, my second post ever, entitled “The Suicide Note” is missing. I wasn’t aware that they can hide posts based on content? It’s creative writing, not against anyone nor is it an actual suicide note. I don’t understand how they can limit what is posted on my blog page.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What is the post visibility setting?

Is it a draft post?
Is it a private post?
Nether if those will be displayed on the front page. -
I’m sorry to say that the likelihood you can retrieve the posts is zero if you created it here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/
If and only if a missing post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you can recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be. See here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/21/wordpress-recovering-a-lost-blog-post-or-page/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-revisions/But if it was created here http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ there is no means of recovery as the auto-save is not functioning there.
Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
The auto-save works there and the post will be Standard post format unless you change it.Do not create posts here > http://wordpress.com/#!/post/ where the auto-save is not working and where you are creating an Aside post format.
Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/

“They” are not doing it. What is the URL of the post, and what is its publication status when you look at it on the dashboard? Published, Draft, what?

sometimes you have to make the post a sticky post. It happened to me before. Let me know if it helps

It’s published, not public access, and I can see it in the “Posts” page, but it’s not on my home page. I’m just confused because why can I see that it’s still up on the site, but it’s not visible to everyone on my home page? :(

That most assuredly will not help in this situation or in situations like this. Read here so you comprehend what a sticky post it please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts Also be aware that the regular Volunteers like raincoaster and I have been answering questions on these peer support forums for years longer than WordPress.com Support Staff have been on Staff. -

I checked it right up until I started this post and it wasn’t visible, and now I just checked it again and it’s visible again. I’m not sure what’s going on but I hope it got fixed!
thanks everyone
