The day that wasn't so happy
dad had a bad week
I remembered he was tired
recently fired.
He took some pills
as quickly as the fireworks bashed.
Boom
takes another
Boom
takes another
But the finale was the worst.
I was lying on the floor,
sobbing and begging him to stay.
Tears flooded like the colors flaking down the sky.
Never will I forget that fourth of July
