RON RIEKKI 3 People Died

RON RIEKKI | 3 PEOPLE DIED

in the plane crash when I was in the Navy and I used to stay up all night

like I’m doing tonight because I’d think it was my fault

when the counselor talked me through it and showed me

how it made absolutely no sense for me to think that way and I remember

when I got my PTSD paperwork back how they surprised the hell

out of me by including a sheet so strange

that talked about the history of the crash where they also mentioned

that three other people lived from that crash and it was like all of a sudden

I was on one end of a seesaw and then instantly

it balanced out where the number three shifted

all of these times where just the number three was a trigger

for me but now I could see life

in the number and I did and I do.
