I was happy and young, living life,

but as I got older thoughts got louder.

"You are stupid and dumb" and many more names,

that I cannot even bear to say.

I planned out my route, to run away from home,

and picked out the knife, if I chose not to roam.

But something held me back,

that kept me alive,

It's something so deep,

yet so easy to find.

I was kept alive by love, and friends and family,

now I'm truly glad, I didn't lose my sanity.

For all you people out there, ready to die,

don't **** yourself, here's my reason why.

You are loved by someone, if not your family,

By friends, neighbors, teachers, and me.
