To Save A Life

It's scary how a humans life
Can be so weak and thin
It take forever to create,
But only seconds to end.

It had built up over time,
I couldn't take it any more,
All their taunting words,
Ever push and every shove.

I ran back home that day,
And hid away my tears.
As I ran upstairs,
All I wanted was an end.

I'd thought it through so well,
I took the blade from my bed,
I hid their each night,
And each night it was my escape.

I quickly typed In YouTube,
And then Went on new uploads,
Clicked on any title,
And I let the music flow,

To hide any cry or whimper,
I might make as I end it all.
I sat down on my chair,
So I wouldn't thump on the ground.

I lifted the shiny blade,
And I brought it to my neck,
This was it I thought,
This is where it ends.

Only then did I finally hear,
The music that blasted so loud,
As the band kicked into the chorus,
And stopped me in my tracks.

"One final fight
For this tonight
With knives and pens
We made our plight"

The song went on and on,
The blade had long since dropped.
How was it this strange new band,
Knew all the pain I felt?

The song drew to a close,
As I sat in utter silence,
Tears streamed down my face,
From happiness, anger and comfort.

I spent the whole night up there,
Listening to that song.
I played it over and over,
Each time the message more strong.

The next day, for the first time ever,
I awoke not wanting to die,
I was happy that I lived,
Happy I didn't die.

I now follow that band to the end,
I owe the my life,you see,
If I hadn't of played that song,
I would be underground, about 6 feet.

And at times when I feel lonely,
I go back to that song again,
Play it on repeat,
Over and over again.

"One final fight
For this tonight
With knives and pens
We made our plight"

( this is a true story, and I am forever in debt To the 'black veil brides.' Who saved my life, and give me reason to live)
