RIP Dallen Campbell

I did not know you personally,
But I certainly wish you well.
I've had friends go through this,
Which makes me wish I was friends with you.
So many people loved and so many people cared,
Yesterday must have been a day
A day that lost control
Where no one was around.
I'm sorry this had to happen to you
Life's a long gruesome fight.
I do not think less of you,
I don't think you were weak.
You were scared and felt alone
And you did the best you could.
Unfortunately you couldn't have lasted the week.
Maybe if you came to school,
If last night you turned that record loud
And made it to today,
Someone would have said something
To make you look a different way.
What you did was not selfish
And we will all be fine
But in some ways I want to thank you
Maybe now some people will open up there eyes,
Like some friends of mine.

You didn't make anyone angry, you didn't make them sad,
If anything you made them proud,
To say I knew him well.
If you could see the nonsense,
All these people who wish you were their friend,
I have a feeling you'd be doing just fine.
Maybe this wasn't the right answer,
But for many it seems this way,
But maybe you could have been the one to walk away.
You left behind your parents, and a younger brother too,
I try to imagine, but cannot, the pain they're going through.
I hope you see these words and see that somebody like me
Would love to say all of this to you
If you were breathing right infront of me.
There's no way that could happen,
But I really wish it could,
To say to some you meant the world,
Would be misunderstood.
Everybody here is shocked by your short life,
I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to live out all your days and nights.
