"Don't die, be Alive"
I've suffered enough
All my days have been rough
I can't hold on any longer
I don't feel and stronger
My life is worthless
It's more than a mess
I couldn't pretend
I want it to end
As I opened my eyes
The sun started to rise
It's time to say goodbye
To this world full of lies
I took a deep breath
As I sobbed out loud, facing my death
As a truck drove faster
My steps suddenly got slower
With a cry and a sigh
I closed my eyes
It's time to say goodbye
I'm about to die
when I heard the trucks loud horn
I looked up the sky and sworn
"I wish you bring them happiness
Now that I'm gone, I won't feel any sadness"
And with that being said
I know this is the end
I'm ready to die
And end this life I call lie
When the truck is near
all I could hear
is a voice of a guy
who screamed "Don't die!"
I was shocked
I was so still like a rock
Because suddenly,
I was pushed to the side, laying down terribly
I moaned like a hound
as I slowly turned around
I was supposed to die
but instead I was saved by that guy
My eyes widen in horror
for he was the one laying on the ground that hour
I ran to where he layed
Guilt rushing in my veins
It was the guy who confessed
That he was in love with me no less
He opened his eyes with a grin
as he slowly raised his hands, asking me to hold him
I held his hand as I calmed myself
trying to scream for help
"Don't bother
I know I will die at this hour
But before I go,
I want you to know that you don't have to go
I know this is selfish
This will probably make you hiss
But please, stay alive
for people like me who want you to be alive"
Tears started to fall
It felt like I was hit by a ball
Because sadly
his eyes were closing slowly
I screamed, I cried
I should've been the one who died
But then again he said
that I should be alive, not dead
That was ages ago
When my life was filled with sorrow
Now I'm filled with happiness
Without any hint of sadness
Although I have this sickness
Which will soon make me breathless
I'm about to die again
At least I'll die happily because of my friends
Like what the guy who had saved me said
Live, don't be dead
If you don't want to be alive
Live for the people who don't want you to die
