You know God wouldn't give you it
if you weren't strong enough.
This burden only you can bear,
arrived by parcel post today.
Cut tape, pull back the cardboard flap
and see what lies inside.
The sender's name is not germane -
all gifts come from one place,
you know, except for suicide.
So pull it out, and try it on
as tears creep down your face.
And take a mirror picture, showing
all the best you could have been,
before it's all erased.
