I have a friend.
I watch his life pass before
me and I stand in awe as
he takes it all in stride.
I look in astonishment as they
keep him prisoner from those
he needs and loves and
i continues to watch as he
puts his life away and
weeps, making me feel useless
as I am unable to
reach out and help.
He's strong but confused
and he needs help. They
continues to dictate because
of one thing. I call to him
and tell him it will be
alright, but that it isn't worth
it. To keep going on but
leave behind what keeps
him constricted. He smiles,
trying to hide the agony,
the pain, the hopelessness - then
laughs as it all ends with
a bang.
