Why did this happen
My cry for help was heard
Why do I feel this way
Such a short time was this thing called happiness
For so long I thought death was the answer,
But just when I found happiness
I was shot down in depression
My friends and family worry
For my heart will break
The only happiness
I will again know is death
My only future will be a box lined with velvet
Good for my knowledge and ability with children
Good with famous quotations and wisdom
My last words of wisdom are:
Remember the little boy I was,
Remember the happiness in me,
Remember me that way
