I’m tired of all of this
I cannot wait until I end it
Then, they’ll take back what they said to me
Seems like that’s the only way for them to see

Now it looks like I have no other way
To end my life and not see another day
They say suicide is the leading cause of death for us
Leave this world without a fight or fuss

All they can do is want and wish for everything
Then, keep saying it’s my fault and they keep blaming
I’ve always wanted to be remembered for all of the good I’ve done
But, it seems like when things are good I get shunned

I now see that there’s no turning back
Is it confidence and self-respect that I lack?
If I choose to kill myself I could
Other than the bad, why don’t I see the good?

The good thing about that is, I could see grandma again
I’d tell her that I’ll be here forever because there’s no end in heaven
Why does it seem like I’m the only one who cares?
Is it the fact that no one else is there?

I need someone to comfort me at bad times
Cause’ right now all I got is myself and my lines
After considering all of this
I doubt that I will ever be missed

At last, I now see my guiding light
God please rescue me, I’m worn out from this fight
I pray to God that my soul goes to him
And that he forgives every single one of my sins
