"Yes, I am better off Dead." Said Sargent Teddy.
By Cherry Bear
Like I child, I speak to my teddy.
"Sarg, what should I
do?"
He says nothing.
"Sarg, things are bad, lifes to sad."
He falls to his side.
He draws a sigh from my
lips as I look him over.
My mind racing over everything I had
ever done,
everything I had done wrong.
Never was there
a moment of right, or clearity.
I set him up once more.
I touch his button eyes,
His sowed on nose.
I am a child
no more,
This plush brings my no comfert
With that I begain
to weep as a child weeps.
But I am a child no more.
I hold
him for a second longer,
I call his name out once more.
No, nothing helps this pain.
I toss my teddy off the bed.
He flies with great speed and hits the dresser
A thump sound rings,
then a clang.
A knife that had no buisness there falls beside
sarg
I place a hand over my mouth as it sticks up in the hardwood
floor.
My bare feet are quick to take me there,
I had
I angered my teddy?
I pick him up and brush him off,
Looking
down I pull the knife and walk.
Looking at Sarg, then the blade.
Perhaps he had given me clarity.
It hurt, but I pushed through
it,
Looking I see that blood laid acrossed his uniform.
It
was but fitting, he was a solider after all.
Now as I lay bleeding,
These words filled my head.
"Yes, I am better off
Dead."

Heartbreaking reading here. But an interesting way to speak of attempting to patch up the hurt and answer the questions. Upsetting desperation. Sadly written but thank you for sharing.
