Tragedys, By Any Means

Tragedys, By Any Means
By SftnPnk





Ever read, “An American Tragedy?”
If not, you really should
To learn a madmans strategy
Himself, not ever knowing he really would…….

Plan a death……

The book is well written
It tells of the fate of this girl
The unplanned pregnancy---and
Thoughts of his own shattered world.

Desperate times demand desperate measures
The romantic day on the lake
But alas, his selfishness prevails and
The demons………overtake!!!!

As quickly as his sperm was planted
Overboard she went!!!!!
Their love and times together were tainted
Tending to a child, doesn’t pay the rent.

Which brings to mind, another man
The madness also inside
The months of privately planning
Alas! His own demise.

This one being more personal
The years of distance obvious
I saw a blankness in his eyes
His seeming calmness, was a surprise.

We celebrated a siblings’ sobriety
Hugs and kisses, all over the place
Not knowing his plan, for very next day
A gunshot, to his own face.

Another tragedy, an unplanned death
Small cancer cells dispersing inside of her
Who would have guessed, seeing her beautiful face,
Her pride and gracefulness,
That she had actually died inside first.

To dream these things and wake up screaming
Can happen to one……or all of us
But facing the dreams and sharing them
In my opinion, is an absolute must.

Hence, this all may seem morbid to you
But to me, it’s my way of healing
We’re as sick as our secrets
Therefore, words, feelings,,,,,I’m revealing

Each time the words are spoken
The lighter is the load
So don’t be afraid……..to have the stories told.
