The world didn't end

The world didn't end when I was 15

Sometimes, I wish It still did

Sometimes, I wish it ended with me holding a pen in one hand and a pill bottle in the other,

Sometimes, I wish that I had let myself go through with it to see my family again,

Sometimes, I wish that the carousel just stopped turning,

Other times, I think of the people I have met wouldn’t have happened if it did,

But other times I lay awake thinking of what wouldn’t have happened if it did,

Other times I think of the people I have met

The journeys I have gone on

The little family of friends I created

The love I feel now

The joy I feel

How proud of myself I am because I graduated

How I have a good job

How I have a plan for the future

How I know my family is smiling looking down on me

And I am glad that the world didn't end when I was 15
