Warning: this could trigger old wounds

A little compassion could go a long way.
Reach out to a friend.

PROSE FORMAT

It’s them
who pulled the trigger

they were never innocent
they murdered him
every time

they killed him
with words
they haunted
his dreams
their actions
wounded him so deep that
it shattered his whole being

he’s not strong willed?
he held on
for too long
but holding on
seemed to destroy him more

so he chose
to escape from reality
to end his torturous life

whether he live
or not
people
will go on with their lives
the sun
will not stop from rising and setting
the stars
will still shine

the world might care
for a split second
But eventually
they will move on
and forget
as if
he never existed
