I wrote this poem a while ago, the day after my friend died on 1-5-2010. She was only 17. I'm 17 as well, and life hasnt been the same since. I finally got enough courage to post this...

Hope you like it. As always, honesty please.

~Revelation~

I used to be a joker
with a meledromatic mind
until the day life fell apart
and I realized I was blind
the innocence of childhood
was torn from out my soul
the day that she was ripped from life
the day the deathbells tolled
I saw friends crumple to the floor
I heard their sobs, their moans and pleas
staring blankly into darkness
they fell to praying on their knees

and now,
    I am
       no
child

I thought I had life figured out-
life was just a game
once I laughed in the face of death
now I'm burning from the shame
I see the horrors of an era
with a media fixed on death
popularizing the morbid,
filming our last breaths
it's disgusting how the movies
get as gruesome as their let
it's horrific that the priest
spoke of a girl he never met

Life will
    Never
be the same

I'll remember her smiles,
her impact on my life
I'll never forgive the media mockery
that cuts me like a knife
and so I'll keep on living,
letting agony depart
but,
no mattter how much time passes by,
you'll be forever in my heart

Your friend would be truly honored by this poem.  It is amazing how grown up we get once we experience a loss.
