I reposition the cold steel that’s pressed against my head
I can’t think, I try.
numb
Fresh tears streak down my face
numb
The muzzle moves,
I can’t go back now
I’m numb
Pain is numb
I quietly click off the safety
My mind is blank, yet running 100 miles per hour.
“What will happen to my family?”
Numb
My hand starts to tense,
My mind is numb
I look around, the Attic, my final resting place
I slide my finger over the trigger
And my body, run raged by depression
Closes its eyes, and I am numb
All of me is numb
For the last time.
I can’t think, I try.
