Uncle Bobby
March 28, 2013
i know you were depressed
been hurting for a while
you just weren't happy
couldn't take the pain anymore
you were my hero
seemed too happy to want to die
looks can be deceiving though
and it's not like you didn't try
thirteen surgeries later
they said there was nothing more that they could do
you put the gun to your mouth
counted to three, skipped two
you weren't trying to be selfish
it was a deadly disease
that made you give up
. . . put your life at ease.
