Teenage Suicide

Please mommy, do not cry
For ages now I have wanted to die

Please little brother, do not weep
I was haunted with nightmares in my sleep

Please daddy, do not get mad
It was not your fault that I was so sad

Please big sister, do not scream
I tried to live but could no longer dream

Please teacher, do not feel blame
If you had tried the results would be the same

Please best friend, do not miss me
On this earth I just was not meant to be

Please boyfriend, do not go insane
There was nothing you in could do to ease my pain

Please grandpa, do not live in regret
Things happened to me that I couldn’t forget

Please grandma, do not shed tears
I have not felt happiness for many years

Please uncle, do not ask why
I am sorry that I never got to tell you goodbye

Please auntie, do not grieve
I made the decision myself, I wanted to leave

Please cousin, do not follow me to the grave
In the end to my depression I was a slave

I am sorry to all who I had to leave behind
I had so much pain that I couldn’t get out of my mind

I am sorry to whoever found me dead
I needed to slit my wrists in my own bed

I know that it is hard for you all to understand
How at nine teen my own death I planned

No one is to blame for the fact I have gone
But it was long ago that my spirit was withdrawn

Mommy you told me I would be an angel in the sky
Well now I have the chance so please you must not cry

I am finally happy in a place I feel that I belong
So please move on with your lives, you must be strong.
