"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


He picks up the gun and

Holds it to his temple

I have nothing more to give

I have no reason left to live

 

A tear courses down his cheek

He angrily brushes it off

Men don't cry

And I'm a man, I'm tough

 

How did this happen?

I didn't use to be this way

I was a star student

On every test I got an A

 

But lately I've been depressed

Dad says he's disappointed

Mom says I'm not at my best

I've been rude to her

I'm stressed

 

How did this start?

Jennifer

Her picture sits on my dresser

I love her

 

She broke my heart

She stole my fire

She was so beautiful

A beautiful liar

 

Who am I kidding

She wasn't my wife

He throws away the gun

I'm not taking my life
