He was the light of our lives
Very popular in school
Handled things with grace and humor
He had a wisdom that was intimidating
He had the looks of a model and the personality
of a Saturday Night Live character
Early that morning he left a aprty and drove
his Plymouth to wooded area
Then he took a 12 gauge shotgun
Placed the barrel under his chin and
squeesed the trigger
He wondered if he killed himself,who would care
then he broke down in tears
He walked into a pawnshop nearby his home and
purchased the instrument of his death
"He hated guns"one clue to darker state of mind
Beneath a shining grace,a secret anguish
