A very gloomy poem
Want to share this poem I've written shortly after my brother died. He took his own life at a very young age. There were so many unanswered questions as to why he did it. But one thing was pretty obvious, he was not happy with his life. To help me bring closure, I wrote this poem for him to let him know I've understood his pain... Have to warn you though, it's pretty gloomy...
COME RAIN, COME HELL
Night is gone, dawn's breaking,
Up all night, body’s wandering;
Drunk, but can’t stop drinking,
High, but can’t stop smoking.
Grabbed a sandwich to eat,
Started heading to my street;
Listening to my heart beat;
Freezing from head to feet.
Body’s walking, brain’s dead,
Couldn’t wait to hit the bed;
Shut everyone, shut the world,
Heart has turned stone cold.
Blankly staring at the wall,
Trying to make sense of it all;
Many times I stumble and fall,
Right or wrong, t’was my call.
Lying here, eyes wide shut,
Blood’s flowing, wrist is cut;
Come rain, take all my pain,
Come hell, a soul you gain.

Thank you. Unfortunately some people are just so good at hiding their depression which my brother was. All his life he put on a facade of strength, confidence, happiness, and contentment. Little did we know that way deep inside he was tired of putting on a brave face. The truth is... he truly have never accepted his physical disability and cannot imagine anymore living life with crutches. After 21 years of suffering from hopelessness, inferiority, and uncertain future he decided he didn't want to go any further. He just wanted to lay down his suffering and forever rest in peace... I pray every day that God will save his soul and that one sweet day we will see each other again in heaven...
