She had just been taunted
upset
for having a pocketsized dog
pulled away
add that to a sequestered dad
in custody all over again
but the sweet small of relief
was not far away

If life is on a leash
it comes undone sometimes..
she took hold of its empty end
and did away with herself
we still have no answers
but the websites for help grow
some parents teach their kids
to do the same with a cord
violent ends with no answers
parents who tried to terminate
their lives on a leash..


One girl had a dad
who was constnatly arrested
she'd go to bible class
for the answer
in the nave's stillness
took hold of the empty leash instead
dreaded to go home without daddy
violent answer came to light
yet she was supposed to be normal...


but there were no abnormal signs
no crazyness in being distraught
a loved one is constantly carted away
idea of family nucleus doesn't stay
but in an attempt to take matters
into her own eleven year old hands
except maybe a sigh of relief
or change in personality
she wanted to promote dialogue
life without daddy would be unbearable
if she just adjusts the noose
the answer in the stillness didn't come
dreaded to go home on a setting sun..
