Today was the last

poem by: Mackenzie Russo
Written on May 11, 2015

Today was the last day 
He couldn't take it anymore 
Constant bullying 
People saying he was worth-less  
A farther who drank him self away 
Than beat him 
Saying it was his fault his mother left 
A mother who wanted him but couldn't take care of him 
Couldn't take the constant beating anymore 
He noticed this was a routine 
Go to school get bullied 
Go home get abused
He was done with everything 
He hated his father 
The kids at school 
EVERYTHING 
The only one who kept him from him self 
From the point of no return 
Was the one guy
Who cared 
Who helped him 
He told him, he would always be there 
He had his own problems 
Parents didn't want him 
He wasn't supposed to be there 
He never wore short sleeved shirts or shorts
No matter the weather 
When ever someone would pull up his sleeve 
There would always be cuts and bruises
They had been together for about 3 years 
They both agreed not to leave 
Unless both wanted too 
Today was that day 
They both wanted too 
They couldn't stand not being accepted for who they were
Now they are gone 
No one could hurt them 
No one could see them 
They jumped 
They shared one last kiss
And jumped 
Hand in hand 
Now they have peace 
His parents soon found out 
Him mom was now in depression and was crying 
Wishing she could have him back 
His dad stopped drinking and was trying to help his mom 
Saying he was sorry for everything he did that hurt them 
But the other parents 
Were glad he was gone

This is sad but also touched me because it has to hit very close to home to be able to write about it the way you do..
