Supposed to be
Brave and strong
Hard working
Honest to the core
Lived down to earth
Never felt tired
Success never
Climbed his head
Never boasted
What he got
Never complained
What he did not
Ignoring his sufferings
Always kept doing
Something new
Show to the world
What the others can’t
He can
Smiled even
When he should have cried
So badly he was treated
Roughed and abused
By people around
Simply because
Other could not achieve
What he could
His positive attitude
Did not come to his rescue
So tired he became
Depression set in
Killed himself
One night
To keep others happy
Relieved himself
Of his miseries

A beautiful write. Very true said, his positive attitude couldn't do anything, but he killed himself to make others happy but he was freed from his miseries. Very true, he was freed forever. It happened many times, it will keep on happening, especially when depression sets in...all hope is lost, one may feel pain is unable to bear so he kills himself. This is one of the fact. Thanks for this thoughtful poem.
