Keep On Part 1.

Age ten bullied, called fat and ugly

growing up feeling like being handsome is the only way to make friends

being the clown of the clasroom, but sweet when i hit send

to the email of a cherished person with i love you at the end

even little kids can be cruel, while crying for attention

i admit i wanted it too, even though i was yelled at after detention

at 12 cancer took my mother, at the young age of 36

my heart was broken terribly, a break that could never be fixed

on top of that people still messing with me only days after she left us

but this time i didnt have the energy to be angry

i looked up to the sky and always asked why me

i looked around and guess what i always see

the news man talking bout a young man who killed himself 

but i was bullied all my life and yet the thought never crossed my mind

so when i look around, a person like me is what i never find

thoughts of suicide is what i never had, because i never had the time

to waste on such pitiful act towards myself

if i was to die who would be here to support my brothers

they were 6 and 7 when we happened to lose our mother

so i will make my mark and ensure when i die you will never find another..... Justo Munoz
