If I was a Bad Person by Tony James If I was a bad person, I would have sent you to others for advicewithout offering my own. 
If I was a bad person,I would have seen you were lonely and done nothing to change it. If I was a bad person, I would have watched as you died, knowing I could have helped you and been forever at your side.  If I was a bad person, I would have drowned in such shame, knowing cause of my actions, I was to blame. If I was a bad person, I would have treated you badly, wondering how could a human behave so sadly.If I was a bad person, I would never have prayed,as you became like a ghost, beginning to fade.If I was a bad person, I would never have loved you, for all that you are and for what others don’t see. If I were a bad person,I would not have told the truth.I would not have given advice, to the ones we call youth. 
I dont care if it’s hard, I’ll give it a shot.For A hero should be remembered, they should not forgot.  Their words should be heard, more often than not.And you should be thankful for the things that you got.  I’m not a bad person, I did what felt right.So that’s why I don’t let you out of my sight. I’m not quite an angel but I’ll help if I can.For I’m not a young boy, I’m a full grown man. I don’t want you to struggle, all I want for you is the best.So each day I pray, that I pass God’s great test.  For I fear the day, that my gift can’t keep giving, as so many people will not be left living. I don’t want them to die, for I feel their pain.I want them them to live, they have so much to gain.I get on my knees, And To God as I pray, I think of the things, that I just need to say.All that potential they have, I don’t want them to waste it.  The success you speak of, I want them to taste it. I want them to know, that your dreams can come true. And that life is not short, there is so much to do.   #Poetry #for #Children #poets #on #tumblr #inspiration #suicide #prevention #love #quotes #prayers #emotions #stories #truth #Integrity #love #unity #understanding #God #Religion #Religious #Quotes #Morality #wise #words #must #read #society #wisdom #wise #people #TalesofMiseryandMayhem #Powerful #Quotes #faith #hope #dreams #hopes #kindness #potential
