Zebra bubble gum

If I ever get to leave this place  
I’ll write a note with every word,  
I was too afraid to say  
Ill write them all down so clearly,  
not one misplaced  
because  it’s the last time,
we’ll ever communicate  
 
I Memorized all of it,
but this my 3rd retake  
Too distracted by the Memories
I can never forget or replace  
 
I wouldn’t trade a single day,  
This was life I tried my best    
You all made sure  
I was happy everyday
Don’t want to leave you feeling  
you’re to blame  
 
 
If you’re reading this  
just know,
That I’m okay,  
This Wasn’t a mistake,  
Countless times
it was delayed  
 
If I felt any more guilty  
I would’ve stayed
Because I love you all  
more than I can explain,  
this letters here to stay,  
these words will never change

Author's Note
Didn’t feel normal for awhile
When I wasn’t sleeping I was drinking or high
it wore me down to a point
I wanted to stop feeling
August 3rd Nieces, nephews, and my parents
all having fun Laughing around me,
felt jealous then mad at myself for it,
I’d rather have them be happy anyways
My mom asked me to take out trash
wearing glasses to cover
my eyes started tearing up
just didn’t want to try anymore
I got back in feeling useless prepared Put on a smile Ready to go straight to my room
my mom stopped and gave me a pack of zebra gum
It was something so simple,
but showed she cared, someone thought of me, it was the greatest gift I ever received
Got in my car rewrote my letter chewing the gum I Never told anyone till now im better now
