Fling yourself off the swingset,
Hold your head to the sky
Spread your arms wide apart--
You said you wanted to fly

Soar like an eagle
Shooting up towards the clouds
A beautiful angel
Who feels oddly proud
--------
Dear mommy, dear daddy:
Don't be so glum.
I've climbed the highest mountain,
I sit on God's thumb!

He said to not feel burdened
For the cards that were dealt;
I just wanted to be happier
Than how I'd always felt
Kinda morbid, but about a child who'd killed themselves. I felt like putting it in a child's perspective.. Just remember, children can develop depression too. Children have low self-esteems too.

Separation with dashes, because of the "you's" & "I's"
