he fronted his happiness
as he hurt inside

he hid his tears
with a smile

when was in pain
he would laugh

he hid under his pillow
for days on end

he would sneak, early in the morning,
to eat, fearful of others
yet he lived alone

he shot his father
20 years ago
and his father forgave him

loved ones would tell him
your very much loved

this man was my best friend
he was a true genius

honestly, he was not far
behind Gates and Jobs

he tried killing himself
multable times

he started to see a shrink
and the day came

he was sitting, waiting, ontime
an hour had past

so he decided to go for a walk
an deliberately walk in front of a
fully loaded dump truck

to end his paim
that he could not overcome
