The suicide note

Dear mama,
Every night for the past few months I have cried myself to sleep
I would cry ever so quietly so you wouldnt hear me weep

It started out as words; I didnt think much to it at all.
A slap round the ear a few times as they passed me in the hall.

At first it was a laugh, I was sure they were just messing around
Until one day after school they threw me to the ground.

Do you remember that day? I told you I had slipped and cut my head.
But I didnt mama they kicked me until I bled.

They said if I told, they would hurt me even more
They put a knife against my throat and they held me to the floor.

I was so scared mama; they threatened to hurt you too
I didnt believe what they were saying but what could I do?

Im sorry mama but I can no longer live this way
I have to end the pain I have to make them go away

I love you mama I just wanted you to know
Im sorry for the pain you are feeling, but i really had to go.

i dont want you to cry whenever you visit my grave, i want you to be strong for me mama, i love you
