A kid in my school passed committed suicide this mother’s day weekend. I didn’t really know him at all, but still. The official story is that he “accidentally strangled himself” . . . with a rope. This is for him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s on the announcements,
Monday morning,
All I can think is,
It was mother’s day weekend.
And when everyone is crying,
All I can do is,
Feel numb.
And when we write to the family,
All I can say is,
I’m sorry for your loss.
And in math class,
All I can feel is,
Mourning.
And in the morning,
It’s all I can do to get dressed.
And now,
All I can do is listen to the echoes of kid’s laughter in my head.

Rest in Peace, Neil T. <3
