Where It All Could Lead
When the negative became the life style
Along time ago when life had no responsibility
I went to school in this little town i grew up in
My heart was full of love and positivity
I was young at heart and young in age
My world was an imagination with dreams abundant
My eyes showed no sign of weakness
I was a child unsure of his timeline then
As i grew my bright world became dark
I moved on from elementary to high school
Then my hell became real
I was bullied i was hated on i was taken apart
My whole concept of life was completely altered
I was a victim with no explanation why
To take a child and break him down to the point of suicide is so wrong
To think about that at seventeen and try to succeed at it is so scary
I thought long and hard about a way to do it
A way to forever take the pain away
A belt a closet anything to close these eyes forever
I thought about a reason a note a way to express everything that was done to me
Those kids had no heart had no mercy
All they cared about was what was going to get them notice by all the other so called cool kids
There i stood in my room one night thinking i just need to end all this
Then i tried i failed miserably
But as i was at that low point in my life
I grabbed a pen and decided to write about
All the darkness in my life
I wanted to get it out all of it out
I felt the weight of that burden on my shoulders for years
Then i come to realize life is worth the struggle no matter how hard
Death is just the permanent i quit on myself
My advice if you are the one right now in this place
Grab a pen and paper see where it all could lead.
