Chris (My Brother)


I looked at you with a frown had no one to count on except you I was always being let down but you always stuck through Now you're following the path to God It's all about family together We're sending you on your way with a nod and we pray now and forever We gotta stay strong Nothing's feeling right Everything's wrong The future without you doesn't seem bright You used to wipe away all of my tears You were my childhood hero, brother You would always tell me "have no fears" I looked up to you like no other I've got nothing against you Although I'm a little angry and confused My words are true My heart feels abused Hearts are broken I'm down on my knees crying There's words unspoken Inside and out we're all dying How could you just leave us? Did you think you wouldn't be missed? How you left us was simply unjust And i'm hurt and depressed And we pray We're saying farewell See you someday Nana's waiting for you on the stairwell.

well I wrote this poem simply to express my feelings about my brother committing suicide...it actually helped me a lot.
