Tragedy
These three events shaped me into the person I am today;
Although they aren't the only ones, they definitely come into play;
If I told you what went on inside my mind, there's a chance you wouldn't know what to say.
Some things in my life have gone untold;
As I sit here and write out these things, the truth will soon unfold.
These are a few memories I solemnly loathe.
I didn't know it then but my life would never be the same;
At the age of two, a father figure of mine took his life away;
Then, I thought he was gone for a while,
But now I know he's gone for more than just a day;
It seems as though no matter how much time passes by this pain just won't go away.
It sucks having him stuck in my memory;
Because I'm not quite sure if he actually rememberes me;
I honestly just wait until nighttime just so I can get onto my knees;
I wonder rather or not he can actually hear my pleas.
At the age of seven, someone else I loved went up to heaven;
This time however, cancer seemed to become the depressant;
For most people, Thanksgiving and Christmas are a bit pleasant;
But it isn't for me considering I can't feel his presence.
He of course is another person that I love deep down within;
I hope he doesn't know about any of my sins;
I will always remember him as one of the greatest men;
And even though I can't remember all of the moments that we shared,
I hope he knows that he isn't a memory from way back when.
Another event that caused me to be the person that I am today would be a time when I was around the age of eight;
In my life, a ton of people caused me to hold a lot of self hate;
It got so bad that it was almost too late.
There was a point in time where people caused me to not wanting to live my life;
It started to get so bad that I was willing to give up without a fight;
I really was trying, up until one night;
I'd officially reached my limit and everything would finally be alright.
I looked and I searched but I couldn't find what I needed;
I asked everyone in the house, I tried and I pleaded;
If only they would've helped I might've succeeded, but no one was willing to give me a hand;
I guess it's true that everything happens for a reason.
I sometimes think and I ponder;
What would've happened if it all would've ended right then and the only sound that could be heard was thunder?
What would happen if I didn't constantly cry and think that my bed would be the best place to hide up under?
