Better Half
by Sam M. Phillips

Suicide note,
I wrote,
You won’t read,
I don’t succeed,
Wake up,
Still alive,
Strive to find a way,
Slay myself?
I need help,
I yelp like a dog,
Thick fog covering,
Hate haze smothering,
Baby blubbering,
Panic attack,
Stack crimes,
Point to times I lack,
Can’t take back mistakes,
Rakes run rough fingers over heart,
A part of me finds this absurd,
I wish the better half of me was heard.
