I once wrote a letter
when i thought i was not getting better
when my world was falling apart
and i had a bleeding heart
this letter was sad
and was written to my dad
apologizing for what was ahead.
i read this letter word for word
but my eyes became blurred
for the tears i was shedding
and the pain i was dreading
the urge
to seal the envelope and pull the trigger
grew bigger.
And the bravest thing i have ever done
was to live when i wanted to reach for the gun.
