A Mistake That Killed

In a race There I ride I took a turn And cost a life With a gash in my head I ran to the other car Inside were two men One I recognized I pressed my face on the shattered glass And found my father, whose life just passed A rush of guilt Killed my mind But not as much As I ended my father's life.

Rachael, this poem is strong and emotional. I hope it's not true. If it is, I don't know what to say. (Except forgive your self and try to do good in the world.) Congratulations on having your poem featured this week. Keep writing, Love and Hugs, Dane
