I Was Screaming Stop

STOP you don't understand what your doing

STOP don't you see what your losing?

What about all that is ahead of you

What about all those that are going to miss you

Can't you see all that you have done for just me

What about all the lives you where supposed to touch

But haven't yet

Don't you know it's not your time to leave

The clock inside is still ticking

And hasn't even started to slow down

You have so many years

So many memories to make

People to meet

What if you leave

And something that was supposed to happen 

Never does

Who will fufiil your destiny

All those little dreams that you kept locked in your heart and mind

Right now you may not feel like you can go on

But think about tomorrow and all that it could bring

Think of all the things you haven't done

And still need to 

Think about all that you haven't had the chance to learn

All the music you haven't heard

Life is to short 

To make it shorter

And here I am begging you to STOP

Because if I  need you then someone else must too

And that may be a selfish reason to ask you to stay

But letting go would be selfish of you to do

It may seem like a way out

But really it just drags others deeper

And gives them an excuse to give up

To lost and confused

To stop thinking 

Learning

Careing

Changing lives

It gives one more bully satisfaction

Population control a smile

The devil to laugh

Don't give them the chance

Stick around

And learn and dream and fufill

Fix more people

Change more lives

Learn to hope

Because leaving is a bigger mess then staying

Because either way lives are going to be effected

And don't you want to control how?
