In Suicide's Wake Poem by Spencer RossEvans

Mother always told
You're going to shine bright
And Father always told him
Everything will be alright

Growing up alone
Independence was a must
Everything gets too heavy
And every star turns to dust

He held on to stability
Only for it to snap
The veil of reality so brittle
It merely broke with a tap

It became all too much
This horrid world and its evil
He put the gun to his head
But his effort was feeble

'There is more to achieve'
'You only get one take'
These thoughts kept him going
In suicide's wake
