Poem

[MoonlightRose Kurama]

He's dead and gone
Buried deep within
The cold hard ground
Everyone found out
At school the next day
Wondering why he did it
Wishing they could
Change the past
So that everything could
Go back to
The way it was yesterday
I was sitting in band
With my saxophone in hand
When we were told the news
And my first thought was
No this couldn't be true
It's been nearly nine months
Since that day
And I still wonder
What was so bad for him
That he felt he couldn't stay?
For quite some time
I've wished that I could have helped
To let him know
He wasn't alone in
The way he felt.
But I can't changed
What happened that day.
But maybe I can
Still help in another way
I couldn't tell him
The message I have
The ways that I've learned
To stay here on this planet Earth
No matter how much I hurt.
So please listen to the message
I have to say
And maybe you'll then
Understand what to do
If you ever feel that way.
Don't even think that
Death is better off
Then any problem you have
Because all of our problems
Go away someday.
Think about it
Some kids are already dead and buried
They will never get to have
What you want to throw away.
So please think
Before you take that entire bottle of pills
Or pull the trigger on that gun
Think of something
That you don't want to leave behind
Something that is worth living for
Life is hard
And I know how you feel
But you'll get through
So please no matter how bad
You may feel try to make it through
For all the ones that care
About you!
