September's Poem -- For Daniel

For Daniel

Your journey ended sooner than we thought

We didn’t know about the demons you fought

You may not like the tears, but we can’t hold them back

It means that we know what we now lack

You entertained us and eased our pain

We only wish we could have done the same

Though we may never understand all of it

We’ll always remember your quick wit

Your words and music brought laughter and smiles

We didn’t know it but your world was full of trials

We will always remember you and what you stood for

In our mind, you’ll always be a man of lore

Good bye Daniel, rest now in peace

We know your pain has now ceased

You’ll live on in our minds and our hearts

And cherish all that you created; all of your beautiful art

In memory of Daniel Kyre 1994-2015

I know I've been MIA but school's been hard for me.  I do want to continue writing poems once a month though, even if they're dumb.  :)

This poem is about someone who I just discovered this year.  I watch a YouTube gamer/actor/vlogger by the name of Markiplier.  He recently moved in with some guys who did sketch comedy, Ryan and Daniel, by the name Cyndago.  Unfortunately Daniel passed away last month due to an apparent suicide attempt.  It was really hard on the guys and they all took a break to deal with their feelings and give them time to grieve.  Mark has recently been uploading videos again and seems to be in a great place.  They actually all seem to be in a great place, but Ryan and Matt (who has a channel called Kids W/ Problems and recently joined Cyndago and is Mark's editor) are taking a little bit more time before they start coming back to YouTube.  Ryan announced that Cyndago has ended, but it sounds like Ryan is going to be working with Matt and Mark, and Matt is going to continue with his own channel as well as helping Mark.

Daniel was only 21, so his life was cut tragically short.  He was an amazing musician and really funny.

I know this is long, but I feel I need to say one more thing.  Please, if you ever feel that you have no one to turn to, and you feel that suicide is the only option, please know that it's not.  There are several resources out there, and you're not alone.  So many people want to and can help you, but you have to reach out.  Please seek help before making that decision.  There's always something to live for, you just need to find it.  If nothing else, you can type "Suicide" into Google and you'll find help.  Don't do anything without seriously considering it.  I know it hurts, but suicide is never the only option.
