They say it's 22 a day
But I don't know what the doctor would say
I am mad?
Am I delusional?

Thoughts race like horses
Trying to get to the finish line
But with no end

What if?
What if there is one?
A short cut
One choice that will end it all

But if I do
Will it all go away?
But that's okay
In the end it doesn't really matter
Or does it?

Here I write this poem
Hearing about another loss
22 a day, easy to say

Let's use encouragement
Communicate
And use motivating words

As a former service member
My time was done
A new chapter awaits
So does it for you
So if you manage to read this
Don't give up
A new chapter awaits
