Suicidal thoughts in my head


The silent cry for help always goes unnoticed

Until that note left behind begins to be unfolded

Yes you not anyone else

Can take responsibility for no one, but themselves

Yes I am lonely can't you tell

What more do I have to do shout, scream, or yell

It's all a front can't you see

My mom made a mistake of creating this life for me

That I have all this darkness filled inside of me

And the only solution is taking everything that makes me a human being

You walk past me like I'm nothing

You assume that I'm just bluffing

Yeah yeah everything will be fine

But it's up to you to look between those lines

When I get fed up I cry

Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to die

Until then I just continue to bear with it

You all we see that life is a given

Skin isn't paper don't cut it

Feelings are forever trust it

Your face isn't a mask don't cover it

Size isn't a book don't judge it

Life isn't a film don't end it

You are beautiful within it.
