In the corner of a dark place
Hangs a head in dire shame
Turning over a life’s worries
Taking on all the mounting blame
A cranial void of no solutions
Black as tunnel light can be
Wondering where the chances went
Expected them to be for free
Starting on hearing known voices
Coming far from pointed light
Shaking out from the deep despair
Given hope of final respite
Unhinged doors burst in on him
A figure stands within the frame
Smiles exchanged, bursting wildly
A bullet lodges in his brain
