Dangling By The Apple Tree : A 5 Minutes Freewrite.
Who would believe my story
Shot twice, fresh wounds
Years have dried from my cheeks.
...
...
...
Loans, more loans dad took
Trying to save his farm
He didn't stop taking more
Till farm fell, dad fell.
...
...
Depressed, dejected, took more loans
Hoping one day luck will smile
He gambled away, nothing left
Finally, failure fell, dad fell.
...
..
Booze, gutter, dad in piece
No one to help
No, even mum
Till we saw dad on the apple tree.
...
...
...
Why leave us alone
Why not take up yourself
Now we have to live the stigma
Farm failure, apple tree, suicide dad.
...
...
...

such a sad story - and the truth for many... I hope that this is a fictional poem for you.
That was a sad one
It can happen to the best of us ...
