too much for even the greatest

by J.J. Campbell

the final tears
of a dying soul

what outsiders
would call a
life well lived

but the regret
of the truth is
often too much
for even the
greatest

be it a gun

be it an overdose

be it an accident
attributed to
old age

the final days
will come upon
us like hell
breaking through
a calm night

like disease
spreading
among the
poor

there's always a
part of the story
they never told
you as a child
