When You're SUICIDAL
Life may be hard
when you are torn up inside
but there are always better ways
To hide what you feel inside
Don't tell them how you feel
Tell them it's a scratch
Hide the marks with long sleeved shirts
And call that line on your neck a rash
Your heart is broken
But don't tell 'em that
Tell 'em that you are looking depressed
Just because you're tired
Laugh and make jokes about your pain
So people say they feel the same
Just to keep an existence to your name
Blackened thoughts are all you are
So trap yourself in lies
Your face is your scar
Until a part of you dies
Do you really want to do this?
Do you really want to die?
Please make me get over this
Because I'm suicidal
And even though I try
I don't want to die
