I know
They say you're selfish for taking your life,
they say that all you do is cause pain and suffering to others.
But do they think about how you feel?
Do they think about your constant pain and suffering?
I know, I do.
You just want it all to go away,
to feel happy again and never sad.
Do people know that about you?
Do they realise that it isn't that easy?
I know, I do.
I know because I am there.
"I'm better off dead,"
does that sound familiar?
I won't do, or at least I hope I never do.
And I hope you never do, either.
Life is a struggle,
I know, I do,
especially for the tormented souls,
the ones whose minds attack their own body.
I know, I do.
Be strong. I know it's hard.
I know, I do.
