Child Suicide

I can no longer hide, I admit that I cried When I heard kids went live, and committed suicide They had no one to confide, felt they had it worse Feeling like life ain't a blessing, just bad,and a curse And no verse is gonna give back their young lives But I strive, to voice their hurt, through my eyes Everybody wants fame, people to remember their name To see they're distinctive and not all the same A tear from the soul, they can no longer hide A broadcast of their past, is told worldwide Is someone listening? Does someone care? Is anyone gonna stop me? Or just wait and just stare? 1,000 friends and no one did a damn thing Empty words were blurbed, does that count as the same thing? Hidden pain with no refrainment, is not entertainment Watching but not helping for your infotainment.

Poem entitled Tribute to Robin Williams which was written by poet James Horn. Read mine and check it out. I remember when three guys in high school joined a pack and all three committed suicide. It Ain't Easy. How would you like to be their parents. I know them and they still haven't forgiven themselves. What went wrong and where? We will never know. Jim Horn Retired Veteran and Poet.

It's an amazing thing, such a sad thing. Unimaginable to me.
