Why did you end your life
Were you full of sorrow and strife,
Was it really that wretched and bad
Or were you harassed, or maybe sad.
Did you release a mournful sigh
When you uttered your last goodbye,
I wondered the last thought in your brain
Did you curse, on what caused your pain.
I truly wished, that you had stayed
That unto God I have sincerely prayed,
I and others would had helped your fight
We would had defended you, with all our might.
But, you and your situation I never knew
I am just someone out of the blue,
Now there are many people shedding tears
For your pain, and your sadness, and fears.
If someone had done you wrong
Death, for them had rang its gong,
Because the ones that does the forgiving
Are the ones that are living.
I hope that you have finally found your peace
I hope that your sadness did cease,
And I wish that your tragedy could be undone
And I now wonder, why you had no-one.
I remember hearing the terrible news
When life, you did not want to choose,
The grass then became your bed
When upon it, you fell dead.
