I remember a time
When the golden leaves fell
But the late autumn breeze
Didn't cool my living hell
I listened to my parents
Ignored what the other children said
But some of their words
Seemed to get stuck in my head
I remember a time
With lots of snow
And the cuts on my arms
Were beginning to show
My parents stopped caring
They just let me be
Little did they know
My worst enemy was me
I remember a time
When new flowers began to show
How much I was hurting
No one would ever know
I left all my friends
And ate alone instead
The things others were saying
Made me wish I was dead
I remember a time
When the summer sun grew hot
And I spent all of my time thinking
Of what I was not
I looked at my skin
And all of it was torn
I thought to myself
Wishing I had never been born
I remember a time
When the golden leaves returned
The bullying intensified
And all of their words burned
The weight was too heavy
Just too much to bear
So I tied up a rope
And kicked away the chair
I remember a time
When my family wore black
I had lost my fight
And I could never come back
My dad was silent
And my mother cried
I had gotten my wish
And finally died
