Did Anyone Really Know

Did anyone really know just how I felt today Could you tell something may be wrong by the things I would say All I really wanted was not to feel left out I longed to know I was loved and deeply cared about Please don't misunderstand me I'm not blaming anyone I just wish I'd known the truth before I did what I had done I wish that you'd spent more time with me and got to know my friends I wish you'd made me tell you exactly where I'd been I have this word of warning I hope you will take heed Parents pay attention to what your children need And children I have this for you; if you think this was fun Consider all the pain I left because of what I've done If you're feeling like I did I urge you not to wait Get the help you need today before it is too late This was written after a local teen killed himself on a dare.
