So Happy He Killed Himself Poem by Sarah Sisson

There was so much pain
in the bundle of success he acquired

all at once he was a winner
the days of failure had gone

He laughed and cried
He screamed and danced

The excitement woke his heart
he arrived at a new dimension

The dimension was a demon
and the demon was dementia

He drove to the woods
He focused on his eyes in the rear view mirror

He smiled in the mirror
He tore the reflection from his car

As he walked into the woods
he skipped as if he were mad

Then he sat quietly

He held the flashlight he brought under his chin.
Then he looked back in the mirror

Then he took the weapon of choice
replaced the light with metal

He chose to die in the bliss
he could not handle
