Death Wish

He killed himself
how could he do that
He had a family
that relied on him
He killed himself
we assume he’s selfish
For all we know
he killed himself,
to save everyone else
from his demons
He saved everyone else
from himself forever
SUICIDE

I really like this Rob. I hate it when selfish is lined up with suicide because I imagine when somebody is at the point of suicide all rational thought has disappeared and selfish is the last thing that can be said of them...tortured would be more apt I reckon x
