Poem
Contest judged:11/13/17 Depression and Sadness I could no longer fight the demons in my head Stress got the best of me no matter what anyone else said I let drugs and alcohol get the best of me Soon I'd self-destruct and take the rest of me My family watched me continue to slip further away Nothing could have prepared them for that devastating day With a wife and two kids I had an affair I was blinded,depressed, and no longer seemed to care Money problems followed,I was so far in debt I had to file bankruptcy, I was sunk up to my neck I wanted to fix my marriage, but saw no way out I was hiding even darker secrets that won't be told about My mistress also had kids of her own They were much younger then mine who were almost grown I soon had a new baby but still longed for my old life I secretly wished to be back with my wife The divorce I never wanted didn't go through I knew exactly what I was going to do I was my own prisoner it was time to release Now my body lays resting in peace I left behind alot of heartache and grief I'm sorry to say my time here seemed all too brief Please remember me when I was healthy and happy, I wasn't myself in the end I hope in time you can find it in your heart to forgive me my friend There's nothing out there worth taking your own life I wish I could have seen that then but was blinded by depression that cut deeper then a knife If you get the chance to change a life and help someone escape my same awful fate Please don't wait and hesitate until it's already far too late
