In a Locked Ward

Death can be brought on by depression and/or
self-destruction, if you allow it.
I wanted to talk to get relief, Inner peace;
but I was nervous about whether or not
I would be believed.

My children mean everything to me.
My sweet, beautiful daughter - Hope, I love you.
My handsome young boys; D.J. (Derek Jr), Tanner
and last but definitely not least, Dakota, aka Dak.
All four just bring a smile to my face
and brighten my day.

How could someone want to commit suicide with
four beautiful children, a loving wife, parents
that love and care about me, and a great and extremely
wonderful caring, sweet, giving grandmother
to whom I could never give half of what
she has given me.
