Suicide
He went to school
but didnt follow the rules
Didnt do what his mother told him to
so everyone called him rude
before he could get expelled
he dropped out
because he knew he failed
couldn't get a job
he could barely spell
so now he is in and out of jail
on the corner selling rocks
stashin money in his socks
on the door his enemy knocks
he fell to the floor
because he'd been shot
couldn't bring back those precious years
couldn't see his reflection in the mirror
his mother couldn't fight back her tears
her only son dying that was her fear
his short life flashed through his head
when he realized how much he'd bled
a few tears he had to shed
for the careless life that he had led
he shreeked out,I dont want to die
his voice got faint, then he started to cry
i promise i'll change', I wont even lie
i wont drink and I wont get high
his mother screamed, please let him live
he didnt know he's just a kid
has she holler's to her son, this cant be it
the ET workers start to rush in
they ran him out on the stretcher
blood still drained from his fracture
the time he had to live, was hard to measure
now he remembers all the lectures
he closed his eyes as they tried to revive him
but they knew he was dead
the loud noise of urgency, turned to silence
and no more was said
THINK about your DESICIONS today
because you might not make it to tomorrow!!!
