I had a friend...

They say suicide is the ultimate act of a coward
The idea became a seed, and then it flowered
It was then I realized, perhaps I disagree
Think outside the box, stir up some controversy
You see some die because they're afraid to live
Others live because they're afraid to die and give
Double edged sword, a definition of hypocrisy
From those whose life is nothing but ecstasy
Don't get it twisted, his decision I can't defend
But I had his back from day one, his best friend

He said nobody knew what it was like to walk his shoes
A constant battle with hatred, The one with a short fuse
Told him, Instead of giving in, slowly letting yourself die
Do what you always wanted, but were afraid to try
Told him, if youre that desperate, try something new
Go somewhere, start from scratch with options to pursue
Life is full of different paths and journies to take
I encourage you to rethink, this road is surely a mistake
Told him, no one lacks a reason to imagine their own demise
You must keep hope and keep looking to the next sunrise

Then i received a call, telling me he had gone home
Left us nothing but a note, then put two in his dome
A feeling I hope no one goes through, but those who know
It brings worlds crashing down, with tears in endless flow
A funeral with a casket closed, is what they advised
Told the family his body wasn't going to be recognized
Lonely can be the sadness when all is black and bleak
Lonely is the peak of sadness too difficult to speak
I had a friend... Who left me in 2002
I lost a friend...There was nothing I could do


** This one means alot too me.. if anyone has any comments about making it better, or smoother, please post. When you write about an event, it never seems like it's good enough to make you happy...

Buddy. I know where your coming from yo. This is raw emotion man. This type of poetry/rhyme is best left running its course. It is perfect. No need to alter it. Kinda think of the track
(Eminem - Kim) as an example.

- If I cant bend Heaven, I shall move Hell -
