I know i had a friend,
His name was Corey
He was twelve years old
and his life told a story
It hadn't been that long since he passed
but just think about the good times that was shared and had
even though he was abused
he was a lost soul that was confused
tears might roll down your face every time you think of him
he's in a better place
even though he made a sin
now that i think about it, I'm bringing' it back
I'm doing this for Corey so you know it ain't wack
so bow your head in prayer and stare at the moon
we might just move on
but he was still gone too soon.

My poem came from the heart. I was speaking my mind. I lost on of my classmate in 2011. I wrote this shortly after his death.
I thought this told a little about him and how i felt towards his death.

I'm sorry you lost your friend. Now we have something in common, i would've preferred something less death-related. But thanks for your feedback

I really loved the ending, though the beginning didn't start out too strong. 

I love how you truly wrote it from the heart, I think it really conveys your emotion and memory well. 

It's so sad that things like that happen, happen so often nowadays. 

Thanks for writing this, it's very good, and with a little revision and editing, I think it could be even better!

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.
