The Note

If you're reading this note, then I'm already dead
I probably got a bullet lodged in the side of my head
You can't save my body, I already locked up the joint
Anyway forget how I died, that's besides the point
I was a lost soul in a dark world; cried out for help
I put a mask on my face so I made it hard to tell
I fought through the pain for a large portion of life
And it cut at me like it was from a sharpe edged knife
I searched for an answer, I looked out for love
I got on my knees and prayed to the heavens up above
I never found that person that could save me from the lies
This led to my life span being severely compromised
But now my story is over, the pain is finally gone
Unfortunately, it looks like the demons have won
And I know all I did was transfer the pain
But if I didn't finish it, I would've gone insane
I was like a horse with its foot stuck in the fence
So the beginning of the end needed to commence
I know too many, it'll take some time to cope
Because this is the beginning of my suicide note
............................................................................................
No matter where you go
I always want you to know
Life was rough for me
And it probably is for you
But I want to see you grow
It doesn't matter where I am at now
Please learn from my mistakes
So you can shut this world down.
................................................................................................
Don't mourn for me for too long
This was my destiny for the future all along
Take my tragedy as a lesson to you
It'll show you the things that you cant do
It sounds harsh, but hear me out
I'll show you in detail what I'm talking about
Don't hide behind a mask when you're suffering through pain
Make sure you spread this message out like water from rain
Don't allow people to bring your confidence down
Tell them one day that you're gonna own this town
Don't let people stop you from going for your dreams
It's not as far away as you think it may seem
Raise your arm high and scream, I'M A HUMAN OF WORTH
Doesn't matter the skin color, sexual orientation, or location of birth.
Do these things for me, as God blesses my soul
Because I wasn't able too in life, and it took it's toll
If you're reading this note then remember I'm already dead
Don't live like me, be something better instead
I love you all, even if you don't love me back
And I hope when it comes to your dreams, that you attack
I bid a farewell to you all, I hope you digest what I wrote
Because this is the end of my story and suicide note
...............................................................................
(Note, I'm not suicidal, this is creative writing)
