This isn’t how I pictured my life
thinking about death and wanting to die
I was happy and free like a kite
or so I thought but is only a lie

It all started when I became a teen
and life got confusing and I felt blue.
everyone around you feels like their mean,
but really, they are just ignoring you.

On the outside I smiled a lot
but inside I frowned more.
I couldn’t really connect the dots,
what was I living for?

Sometimes I would picture myself dying
and it actually would calm me down.
You still reading this, you think I’m lying?
I feel like I was beat into the ground.

I lie awake at night thinking it through
if killing myself would be wrong.
Do you know what its like to feel blue,
do you think I’m just singing a sad song?

Well tonight is the night you will see
I sit here telling you this as I cry
go on, leave, forget about me
because tonight is the night I will die.
THE END
