A reckless act, so rash
No clear thinking
Years of happiness turned to ash
An end because of unthinking
Think before you speak, my mother’s advice
But rage drove me on and on
My God have I paid a price
I now lie awake seeking the dawn
I want to blame others, but how
My thoughts, my words, my rage, my fault
I must speak out in sorrow now
And bit my tongue and wait
I live in desperation
Minutes, hours, days all the same
How do I escape damnation?
while I exist in constant shame?
