I heard of you today when my mom came crying, and I didn't know what to think petrified of the words soon to escape her lips not at all what I expected, not much to say you were going to prison statutory **** of a fifteen year old boy what they hell were you thinking and only three days until you were supposed to leave I heard of you today when my mom came crying and I thought it was my dad I didn't want to hear I didn't want to think of my fathers lifeless body, heart no longer beating but it wasn't him at all according to the report, your fourteen year old daughter walked in to see your neck strung around a rope in the doorway only a thick, unearthed shell of your existence left behind. No note. No explanation. and now I know that is the worst way to leave. I pity the thought of your three young children staring at the mirror, only to see your face glaring back what the hell were you thinking
