To leave this world
As a choice
No different than choosing a breakfast cereal

Would mean

To leave my mother always questioning what it was she did wrong

To leave my little brother
Breaking the promise that I would always be there for him

To leave my older brother

To leave my best friend

To leave the kid down the hallway
That I barely knew
Thinking that maybe it’s an option for him

For what?

I'll have some cereal instead
