I'm 13 years old, and so far life is really hard. My mother had 3 strokes when I was 5, ever since I take care of her. Sometimes I feel as if she's no longer my mother. I have no other family. In September of 2010 my bestfriend, Mark died. Since then I've lost 6 friends. This is for them. I hope you guys are happy up there.. I miss you all so much.

Too Many, Too Young

Why'd you leave so soon?
I sit here with bitter gloom.
You always understood my fears,
You always stopped my pouring tears.
We'd talk and laugh and live it up,
And now I wait for death to come.
I cry my shallow tears,
And give voice to all new fears.

A whisper told me to stay strong
When everything was going wrong.
I miss your touch
From dusk till dawn
I'll try and keep my spirit strong.
But for just how long?
Tell me,
Why'd you leave so soon?

You knew it would come,
Too young.
Too young to die,
But somehow he took your life.
I can still see your smile,
Shine bright like a star.
A little whisper in my heart.
Why'd you leave so soon?

I wish I could have felt your ease,
When your pain seized.
To exist in such glory as yours,
I'll wait and hold my pillow tight,
And kiss your shortened life goodbye.
As I cry my sacred tears,
Too many friends lost in young years.
Why'd you leave so soon?
