Dear people around me I'm sorry to say
But I choose to take my life today

If you want to know why? Just listen and I'll tell
About the life I've lived with the devil in hell

When I was thirteen I was molested by my father
Try to stop him, my mother didn't bother

When I was sixteen I was confessing to my preacher
That I was being harassed by my high school teacher

By the time I was eighteen I was pregnant and married
When I was nineteen my husband and daughter were buried

Killed by a drunk driver in a car wreck
He went through the windshield, she broke her neck

Now I am twenty-one and considered grown
So I choose to take the life I once called my own

I am writing this letter to express my voice
But I'm selecting death by choice

This is about a young woman who has had a realllly rough life and has no other choice but to end it... this all happened to a friend of mine but I'm glad to say that she got help and has started over.

~Gosh,...such a rough road to have traveled...and such a mountain to climb to heal.  With a friend like you she will succeed. Thank you for sharing this. *Peace.
