My attempt in writing poetry...

I'm new at INO and since I have no friends,might as well try to do something.

Okay...*cracks knuckles and bends over computer*here goes...

I Am Not Afraid To Keep On Living

I used to be a depressed son,
Who's problems weighed a ton,
I tried to off myself again and again,
All I wanted was to stop the pain.

Cutting,shooting,nothing would do,
I even tried to overdose too,
They always found me in the end,
Choking in blood or lying on the bend.

They threw me in rehab,took away the key,
I was stuck in here for history,
It was a never ending nightmare,
Where I could never rest without having a scare.

Help me,please,I'm going insane,
Trapped inside this psychotic brain,
One way in,no way out,
Locked inside without a doubt.

One day,I managed to overhear,
This song on the radio that made me tear.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone,
I realised this was all a mistake,
So I picked up the phone.

I called my folks to say I'm sorry,
And that they didn't have to worry,
Because when I came out six months later,
I was much,much happier.

It was all thanks to My Chemical Romance,
They saved my life,that's true,
If they weren't around to save lives,
I wouldn't have a clue.

So I'd like to end this silly rhyme,
Without wasting anymore time,
Thank you,MCR,thanks a lot,
You guys are the reason that I fought.

You saved my life with those two simple lines,
Those words gripped my heart like vines,
I'll never forget the advice you give,
To save the lives of those who wanna live.


So...how's that?Someone comment on this please.I'm just a beginner.

It has a whole lot of meaning.
