Purpose


Purpose 
The voice in my head 
It tells me to be depressed 
To have horrid thoughts 
To commit horrid actions
 
I don't like the voice in my head
I can't explain the graphic thoughts
Well I can but I'm not sure…
I'm not sure if I'm ready to go
 
Don't get me wrong I have reasons to be happy
 
This one girl, this one girl 
When I meet her eyes it's…
Well that's the thing I don't know
She's amazing 
 
My family
Even though sometimes they don't notice me 
It's okay though, 16 years they have been there 
Well lived with me 
Yea I love them
 
But somehow the voice comes back
Every damn time, every damn time
That's when it all falls down 
That's when it all begins
