Suicide
Thirteen years old
His future was planned.
A thought in his head
A belt in his hand.
His mind was made up
No one could stop him.
The belt was now around his throat
The world around him darkened.
His thirteen year old life
Flashed before his eyes.
He quickly realized
He was too young to die.
His sister found him
She screamed for help.
He tried and failed to beg her
To loosen the belt.
The darkness closed around him
He walked into the light.
His short life was then over
He ended it that night.
The next day at school
We were told what he had done
We learned that his mother
Had lost her only son
Too late he had realized
He didn't want to die
He left us, his friends
Without so much as goodbye
