You were there when I was born
You were there when I turned 3
You were there when my sister left
You were there when I turned 6
You were there when I started school
You were there when I turned 9
You were there when I moved away
You were there when my niece was born
You were there when I turned 12
You were there when I went to Jr. high
You were there when I turned 13
You were there when my heart broke in two
You were there when my sister was arrested
You were there waiting for me to give up
You waited for me to say “End this life!”
You waited for me to do suicide
You waited for this life to be to much for me
You waited but never got anything
Not a thought of suicide
You tempted me but it never worked
I won’t listen
I won’t give in
I’ll tell you now
I’ll live this life till it ends

Beware Death is watching
Beware Death is near
Death is something I don’t fear
Death is waiting for you

I liked this, but think the repetition isn't necessary for them impact of the poem.

"...buried way beneath the sheets
I think she's having a meltdown..."
"Buckcherry"
