Momma blew her brains out loud. No one told me why. She chose to die. It had to be my fault. I always made her cry. I wished her happy. I wrote her poetry comedy and tragedy. She could have drowned or jumped to her death leaving us without her mess. She chose a gunshot instead. Painted the kid's walls red.
Her messy death left her scream for the rest of my life. She loved dramatic exits. I still miss you, Momma!
I wrote this for 2 gunshot suicides I heard about second hand and my heart broke for the kids who found Mommy dead in a mess she'd always leave.
