Array ( [sid] => 49636 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => reason to stay [time] => 2004-05-29 18:17:31 [hometext] => me talking in third person....i tried the other way....couldn't get it to work the way i wanted and it hurt far too much... [bodytext] => you can't understand this life
you're dead inside and don't know why
you only want the pain to stop
you need a reason to live
you hurt yourself to ease the suffering
theres no other way you can see

you finally make up your mind
you make the coice to die
nothing else could suffice
and everyone will be better
with you, the burdon, gone

you can't live happy
you can't find joy
there's nothing else to do
give away the things you own
say bye to so called "friends"
write a note for all to see

not much longer till sweet release
only a shot away
you point the gun
perfect aim
couldn't miss if you were blind

you raise your head
and cock the gun
freedoms a step away

you let your eyes wonder
look around for one last time
passing over the picture of him
your eyes stop and focus on the image

and now you remember
there it is!
the reason to stay
wasn't that far away

It's the grinning face
of the one who loves you so
possibly the only one
who would notice you weren't around

The little boy with soft blonde hair
and shinning bright blue eyes
what kind of message is this,
to leave your little brother,
the one who copies words you say
moves you make
and food you like?

you lie the gun down
begin to cry

you wonder how...
how you could ever think
of leaving him behind

he runs to you with open arms
and yells your name in glee
you squize him tight and close your eyes
you found your joy
and your reason to go on

he was there all along
how could you be so selfish?
thank some higher power
that you opend up your eyes
can you imagine the pain
he'd have,
when told that you were gone?
the last thing on earth that you
would ever want
is to hurt that inocent child.


p.s. i believe all the medicine to all the pain and suffering in everything we do can be found in childrens eyes. and if the world was ever coming to an end i think the power to save it could be found within a child.

this is dedicated to my four year old little brother...the most important little man in my life....more important then anyone else. i plan to let him read this one day..when he's old enough to understand...so that way he can see that he's had the biggest impact on my life. (and maybe it'll help with sucking up..when he's all older and only interested in girls and such and is going through the phase where he "hates" me...because i'm older and stuff...just kidding guys.......lol)

I hope things work out, giving up never helps any one and suicide is a cowards choice.
