Shelf
Impatience drumming fingers
Unsteady heart rate his breath lingers
Not a leader he’s left to follow
No friends to turn to hard to swallow
No love left hard to accept
This unfair cruel life concept
Unsure what to do with his life
He came across an idea and picked up a knife
No more cruel insults or being picked on
Not even a scheme not one to con
This guy plunged the knife into himself
But his heart wasn’t the one torn from the shelf
His little sister full of love and care
Walked into the kitchen and saw him there
Screaming and running dialing 911
God please help her isn’t fun
She loves her brother all she can
Little sister had no idea of his plan
“911 what’s your emergency?” Operator asked
“My brother is on the floor bleeding badly”- not letting a moment pass
“We’re on our way” sirens started to sound
And lights flash heartbeats speeding left to pound
Hours passing tears falling
Any results? The doctors stalling
Needing to see her brother she yearned
Her parents feared what she’ll learn
Here lies the peaceful brother she never knew
Who wasted his life right on cue
His bullied soul and damaged mind
He had a bond with his sister, always kind
Here lies the brother who broke her heart
Rest in peace, you can never restart.
