Poem 14


I'll shed these tears

to water my sorrow

I'll shed these tears

to experience tomorrow

I'll battle the urge

to have something to fight

I'll battle the urge

to pretend things are right

I'll look in the mirror

to stare at myself

I'll look in the mirror

wishing I were somebody else

I'll pick up the rifle

see the bullets it sends

I'll pick up the rifle

the unhappiness ends

I'll search for my soul

but why do I care?

I'll search for my soul

was it even really there?
