The Lesson

Well... I'd never guess such a unclassical fate Yet upon my endeavours Walking among fallen feathers Believing I'd make it to the greats It's funny Of course people would so simply say No Don't do it It's not worth all this But upon the internal screeching inside my ear I can not hear it The sound drowns out And now I'll count... 1...2...3...4 I don't feel needed anymore 5...6...7...8 No I can't hear you, its far to late 9 10 I'm writing sloppy with this pen Feel far too numb Here I lay... Upon the bed in which I was born Oh here Look here It's my whole family Crowding around I blow out the candles the air thickens with smoke Where am I now? Look it's mummy and daddy Wait where's daddy going? Where's daddy gone? Is he ever coming back? The floor falls from underneath me I'm back in bed My flesh upon my arms and legs are bleeding But there is no sensation What have I done?! I shouldn't be here! Doctor I'm okay Please leave me to lay My family have crowded around me again My dad is here Beside mum Everyone's crying The world around me dissipates The light... I see it! I'm going to it! Goodbye mummy Goodbye daddy I'm happy now But I am sad I don't know what to do I'm scared Someone help Ouch what is that? It feels as though Zeus had struck me with his lightning bolt There it goes again Wait... I'm back... Hello family I'm okay There's no need to cry I'm sorry for doing this Forgive me I'm sorry I need my rest I need to sleep Goodnight
