Another year gone by <br />Another wasted minute of life <br />Another four years <br />And I'll be outta your life <br />This year's gone by <br />With bad times and worse <br />Just a couple weeks ago <br />I could have been lying dead in a hearse <br />I could have had a bullet <br />Wound to the head <br />I could have overdosed <br />And died peacefully in my bed <br />I could have hung <br />From a jumbled up rope <br />I could have took a knife <br />And slashed my fuckin throat <br />I could have jumped <br />Off a building real high <br />Instead I sat here <br />And wondered 'Why, why, why' <br />The only thing that stopped me <br />The only people that really cared <br />Where my best friends <br />All they were always fuckin there<br /><br />Cheyenne Ashley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-year-gone-by/
