Thank you mom, thank you dad

He got a black sweater and wears black pants
He got a bracer on his wrist and knife in his hands
He got a ring on his finger and he has black hair
He got black make-up he uses to hide his fear
For this life he lives and these things he sees
The only thing he wants is silence and peace

He lifts up the knife, but starts to cry
Never before have he been closer to die
He takes of his bracer so he can feel the knife
Close to his skin so he can take his own life
With the knife he makes a big cut on his arm
He can feel the blood flowing, it is still warm

He can’t feel any pain, from the wound he got
He doesn’t even know if he is bleeding or not
The cut is bleeding, and it never stops
His face turns white and his body drops
He falls down to his blood that is on the floor
At the same time his parents opens the door

They scream out loud and starts too cry
But that can’t help, the boy is meant to die
They look at the body and his bloody hands
And close to him they see a note there it stands:

"I want to thank you mom
I want to thank you dad
I am sorry my life ended so sad
You was the greatest, you are the best
But else then you, just fuck the rest
I’ve been punched and kicked all of my days
In the leg, in the arm, in the belly, in the face
You where the only one for me, my only friends
So thanks for all, but still this is how it ends"

Love from Leo
