Pass the pipe hit the bong,
Where did my life suddenly go wrong?

I'm lying here it's a quarter to three,
And for some reason I can barely see.

The next thing I know I hear people running into my place,
As I noticed a puddle of blood by my face.

The last thing I heard was the police officer let out a sigh,
And explaining to my parents how I was going to die.

I am only 16 I kept trying to say,
Asking myself why I couldn't have lived my a life a better way.

My life could have been happy instead of being sad,
Now that I'm dead I feel really bad.

I always had to act so tough,
For my family and friends it muct have been rough.

Why couldn't have I listened to what they had said,
Because if I would have I probably wouldn't be dead.

this was sad....very sad.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
