"My. Heart. Hurts."
by Mason Rodrigue
Not for the two gone,
but the hundreds who must go on.
My. Heart. Hurts.
Because I have found
in this life of mine
that it is life that's cruel
and death that is kind.
It's easier to end it
than call your brothers or a hotline.
My. Heart. Hurts.
It makes my stomach sick
My heart weeps for my family
My brothers in 1/6.
