About this ebook
Today I awoke Like any other day Today was the
fi rst and my last day Today is the day that I take my life
Today is the day that I take this one last walk I have all the
stuff And I will even carry the pain But this isnt no ordinary
walk You see this walk defi nes me It will let you see all of
my You will know my naked truth Today in this last walk
You will see all I was once a happy child with smiles and
cheer I had the mother the father and the sisters to share
With family and friends that followed near I had an aunt
the loved me o so dear But later that year the tears began to
fall And my tears begun to follow so close in the air Right
foot left foot Just as easy I lost my dad to the streets that he
loved so dear Later she said I love you so dear And she died
the aunt that loved me o so dear. With less that 15 steps I
would take near I would almost loose my mother 3 times
that year With father no where in sight my sister step in so
dear Th e walk isnt over with more to come 20 more steps
and she molested me 5 more and I never trusted no more since then 10 more steps I take
And I see me with 10 more suicide attempts Failure came with no success So my heart
became depressed With comfort in food and my world Where I found little boy blue As
the steps continue my life fl ashes by All that haunts me and where I said goodbye With
6 more steps I take I found friends but I also found hate Hate from others and yes that
includes family and friends With one step that adds seven now I hate myself once more
now 18 steps more I take and I end up a t a street light Red means stop but with me it
means rage With not much more to go now With a fl ame that use to burn bright with a
fellow And yes he was my knight But thought from my head with unexplained truth And
the taste for the world Took me 9 step further away When it ended with 25 steps of one
night stands And a gift to carry with my souls that is now save But at a cost of family
friends and a love life that is no more 5 more steps now and the rode is almost there.
With the last few tears follow the steps One more step and I stand here With all my
secrets exposed And a body that bares it all with the marks and there no end Today I took
my last walk And step by step I told my life And I wonder why I am still alive And why
he hasnt taken my life or why he wont let me take my own Oddly, he speaks to me and
says youre not done With every step you took was an obstacle and when I pushed You
pushed back Dont give up now when youre almost done I know your story now the
world does to Now show them what you can do You beaten the odds over and over again
Now this year its is the end you fi ght once more And my blessed child you shall win
Today I awoke with and end insight and now I see I must begin again But this time with
happiness insight at the end

I'm 25 working full time working on finishing my business degree, but in the mean time I decided to honor my best friends wishes and publish his journal along with some of my poems. To give his life meaning. To give his now silenced voice meaning, showing the world that he mattered.
