Alive Again Poem by Kassem Oude

I've commited suicide
Put a bullet above ear
On death wing would take ride
To leave off pain and fear

Kids mom wife wear the black
Live in bitterness and sorrow
I broke many times their back
Made them harder life and morrow

In the grave no light there
Long labyrinth without gate
I saw ghosts in nightmare
Only remorse was my mate

If life calls me again
Promise to bear its hurdles
Chase out of my brain
Bad ideas, and light candles.
