Death And Depression
Death and deperession
 They separated us 
 We could not say no
 His breath was halted
 His eyes scurried to the back of his head 
 His corpse under this d***ed rock where he forever lays
 
 I became nothing more than a shell granted mobility 
 In the icy winter air, I sat alone 
 Such beautiful memories ending in such tragedy
 
 I felt so far away that day
 Just as cold and as empty as the words
 “Your dad is dead.”
 
 Those words,
  Those words, 
 Those four d***ed words 
 Still ring in my ears at night reminding me of him
 
 Father lay in bed 
 His eyes in a blank stare
 I poked him and shook him 
 He couldn’t be dead
 No, not my daddy
 My mom began to pull me away
 I cried and yelled and held onto him w/ all my might 
 I was no match for her 
 She held me
 
 My big brother Justin was crying as well
 Nothing was making sense
 Nothing ever would 
 
 Depressions icy hands gripped my hand 
 He was my security blanket 
 When he died I did as well
 I was never the same 
 I suffered every day because I was fatherless
 
 This is what began my life story.
