Cancer or Death

A bald man stands stiffly on the edge looking out

the bridge is to his back the road to his front

there is only one act he as left to do

he yells his last words as he jumps off

"I can't take the pain anymore"

he hit the road hard leaving nothing but pieces and blood

later that day the police found out it was eitherĀ 

cancer or death, he chose the easy way

but now they know that he is free

freedom of pain, needles, and drugs

free to live happier than he was on earth
