Wise Words

My grandma when she was growing old Said inside every person a tale is told. So then I ask her "what do you see When you look inside of me?" She said: I used to see you never alone, With love and sympathy in every bone. But then I see the child of late Full of anger, full of hate. You wish to die, but you have to know Nothing will change if you try but fail to go. ********* A few weeks later my grandma died Nearly all her family were by her side All but one stood there in gloom For I was in another room. You see I tried to kill myself that day, I wanted the pain to go away. I was sick and tired of feeling low, I just wanted it all to go. I thought over and over what my grandma said And deep down I still wished it was me, not her that was dead.
