That Ladder

I see, sadly,that ladder
I know what happen
I don't even have to look
I close my eyes
I wish i didn't see what i saw
I saw my shoes
I saw my pants
I saw my shirt
I saw the rope wrapped around my neck
I saw my lifeless body
I saw the light
I didn't go
I wish i had
I still see tears
I see tears in my mothers eyes
I see tears in my grandmothers eyes
I now see tears in mine
I wish i hadn't done it
I hate all the pain
I took my own life
I couldn't handle them anymore
I couldn't take the names
I couldn't take the fists
I couldn't take the objects flying towards me
I now can only think
I will always regret it
