I'm here for YOU

** to clarify this poem, i teach at a private school and this poem is about how i am there for the children, not for myself..

I am not here to smile
- I am here to light up your beautiful, young faces

I am not here to laugh
- I am here to make your young, smiling faces erupt into giggles

I am not here to confide in you my dreams
- I am here to listen to yours and encourage you to follow them

I am not here to be loved
- I am here to love you, unconditionally, through the good times and the bad

I am not here to be remembered
- I am here to rememeber each and every one of you so I can call you by name and recognize your parents when they come to pick you up

I am not here to be cared about
- I am here to care for you and keep you safe from harm

I am not here to cry
- I am here to dry your tears and make everything all better again

I am not here to fight
- I am here to break up your fights and keep you from being hurt

I am not here to have a good day
- I am here to make yours the best I possibly can

I am not here to live
- I am here to die for you, so that you can live a long and eventful life, and that you may live it to the fullest so that all your dreams may come true

Better Off Dead

I'm better off dead
Put a gun to my head
Put a knife to my throat
Cut me so deep
So deep I won't cope

A few little pills
And myself I will kill
It should do the trick
It'll be all your fault
Your fault you dumb dick

You made me sad
You made me mad
You made me cry
And now I bleed
I bleed as I die

Heaven or Hell??

Slit my wrists
Slit them deep
Watch me fall
Into an endless sleep


Don't bother trying
To wake me in the dawn
The hospital can't save me
I'm already gone

Either gone up to heaven
Or through the fiery gates of hell
Until your turn comes up
You won't ever tell

I haven't been angelic
In my life so far
I've been much more of a devil
Hanging out in bars

So I don't think I'll go up
Now that I'm finally dead
They'll take one look at this life I've lived
And send me down instead
