why? why? why?

this is the hardest work i ever wrote

The first time I saw you.

acting like a clown,

too much happiness radiated

in your young face.

I said to myself,

how lucky is this young man

to have everything in life.

Looks, Intelligence and even

breeding.

He has a long way to go,

anyway he is just 16.

After three years,

I have received a call,

someone was crying on the other line.

It was the father,

his son had found another road

to take,

I can't understand,

I don't have the words to comfort,

all I did was to cry.

Why? Why? Why?

the only letter you left 

was for your dog who can't even read!

Was it enough to hurt your parents 

like that/

There were many confusing thoughts

in your mind,

You feel you are alone

in not sharing how sad you became.

Your last words before,

you put the bullet to your head was

"Dad, don't worry i will be in a peaceful world"

In a peaceful world?

where there are still no answers up to now,

why at 19, you decided to end your life?

why? why? why?

I don't know what to say! That was really amazing and I could feel your pain. Its something you never get over. You are so right. Why? Why? Why?
Thank you!

One very perceptive and to-the-point examination.
In the end, of course--other than the pain and bewilderment--we are left with only questions.
A devastating piece of work, S!
