Title: Health Ledge

Poem: Read the news today
A lot said I was selfish
A lot called me a junkie
Said I made a mistake - true

I walked the ledge
Between illness and health
Couldn't sleep for a week
Exhausted my mind wouldn't stop

You're going to be told I was weak
With ignorant anger they'll speak
Don't believe them Matilda
Suicide, most don't understand
The pain I felt

Please don't be angry
I know you're only two
But, I do want to tell you
I'm so sorry I left you alone...
