To Save Me

I was in front of a truck when my dad took his life
He took his life to save mine

I felt so bad that day
I nearly took my own life to make it even

But i saw how sad my mum was, that my dad had gone,
So I told my self that if I were to take my life it would be a selfish act

I went to school and everyone was talking about how i murdered my dad
But i knew that i didn't
My dad was a kind enough dad to take his life for mine

I went home and told mum,
She started to cry

I went to the Kitchen and took a knife
I went to my bedroom and tried to slit my wrist

But....
I couldn't because if i did it was meaningless

It was meaningless because if i did take my life then why did my dad save my life if i was about to take it

Now im 21 and on the day of his death is my birthday
LESS WE FORGET

This is not true but for all those that have lost loved ones I’m very sorry
