An Early Death


An early death is failure expressed

through shouting and tears to being stress

the loss of love becomes the hatred within

you try to restart but can't begin

your thoughts then become suicidal

they tell you what's wrong your a denial

tired of life what's my arrival

a big mistake did I come to suffer?

You try to get strong...act tough...not tougher

although may not be the best

act strange so fed up it's really a huge mess

you want to hurt those that harm your respect

want to hurt them? Then do it with success

it kills them to see you succeed

don't fall to the ground but stand on your feet

Death is not the way out please do believe

You are greatness fellow you can achieve
