This sadden me to sing.... Confusing what is real ~ Chester Bennington
His music takes me to sleep
When I am down and in pain
He soothes the ache of despair
With his words, in his music
His shouts of anger
Relieved me of mine
Every anger he shouts
Makes mine calm
What a waste of a great life
A great artist that helped me
To survive my own battle
With depression, that he can't
Thinking of ending life
The coward in me is afraid
Asking myself is it really that cheap?
To just end it, but others want to live.
Another great man said goodbye to life.

This man I looked up to so much. His greatness will always be unappreciated. It truly hurts me to know that a man like that would end it. Just goes to show that depression can take any of us at any time. One reason we all need to show more love and less hate. Thank you for this poem. It is much needed.

Linkin Park, I heard about it;
it's a good tribute - be careful with your emotions.

Just wanted to say "In pieces" is my favorite LP song. Such deep emotions in that song. Still very sad to think such a great singer has died so young.

Lovely tribute to the late great Chester Bennington. I loved his music, many of us did. When I heard of his passing, I immediately thought of my ex girlfriend and how she was probably sobbing out there somewhere. She loved him so much. He's left a legacy that will be honored for a long time. That is something at least.
