You tell yourself it is over
The pain too much to bare
The drugs have no more purpose
The loved ones never cared

You live beneath the surface
Sulking underground
Pretending no one will notice
Screams without a sound

The final letter slips away
The eyes begin to close
The last your mind would wander
That famous fatal pose

Too bad you missed the sunrise
The love of your life to be
Waiting around the corner
Closed eyes will never see

Too bad you left so soon
The job was yours to keep
The children would adore you
The price of death so steep

Meant to nourish needy souls
They smiled in your presence
Captivated by your inner strength
You gave them hope to grow

Instead you played the part of God
The lifeless box remains
Planted underground
Lifeless without a sound

And all those souls you would have touched
That would have given purpose
Their minds are left to wander
Striking that famous fatal pose

Good write and message!

Love this Glenn... deeply emotional

Thank You
