Note to Would be Killers
Note to Would be Killers
We all fall under our burdens sometimes,
the invisible weights of lonely days and nights,
lost loves leaving trails of blood
that lead to our shaken, world-weary hearts,
beating somber, weak beats
as we walk ghost like with shattered psyches,
broken with the pain of neglect.
Just realize that the person in your sniper scope
might be the man who’s going to save your family
by donating thousands to a scholarship fund,
or the woman who will stick with you
through the thick and thin of your most hopeless sorrows.
When all you can feel is a cold steel wall
between you and the forgetful world,
that person might be the only one
who can break through defiantly
and touch your cracked self,
starting with a smile of innocent kindness.
Sincerely,
A Potential Victim
