Mommy

Why did you do it? I don't understand.

Why did you put those pills in your hand?

Why did you decide to go away

So I'd never see you another day?

I gaze into your silent eyes

And hear a lifetime of hatred and cries

I sit back; there's nothing I can do

Men in an ambulance are coming to take you

I wonder if I'll see you again

I've got no where to turn to; I've got no friends

No one seems to care

They say it happens everywhere

Just another statistic

Another brain to pick

As I prepare to say my final goodbye

All I can ask is "Why Mommy? Why?"
