It’s difficult to put the past to rest
You cannot live their lives for them
You simply have to let go; the test
He lived; one foot already in the grave
Determined to kill himself; hell-bent
No; I am not being at all brave
This life lesson is actually heaven sent
He decided upon his own trajectory
His was the determination into his descent
We watched; we waited; we debated
He did as he pleased; wouldn’t listen
Narcissistic attitude; selfish and rude
Lost from the terrible start; his life glistened
Of tears and sadness; possible madness
His brain struggled; constantly drug addled
Yes; the last few years in shades of grey
He had surely lost his way; no one could say
But that he already had; one foot in the grave...
