All the people in existence
Can’t ever say that in one instance
That at one time they couldn’t deal
With all the things others make them feel
I know at one point
You’ve felt like all you do is disappoint
Degrading yourself to no end
And then you try to pretend
Like all is nice and fine
But somewhere down the line
You couldn’t take it anymore
Then ask yourself what you’re living for
You might turn to pills
Making yourself weaker and weaker still
Or you might take a knife
Just to try to end your life
But what I’ve done is worse
Taking money from my mom’s purse
Buying drugs that could make me die
But even still, I needed that high
I threw up all the food I ate
Drawing me closer to my fate
Then taking that knife to make deep slits
Destroying myself, bit by bit
And when I was young
I didn’t know what I had done
I let bruises from him come and go
I wouldn’t let anyone know
So I took the beatings without a thought
And tried to hit back when we fought
Sibling rivalry? No, it was more
I even took it when my step dad called me a wh-re
But believe me when I say
The beating hurt still today
Even though the bruises have faded
I’m still degraded
So now the voices in my head
Are telling me they want me dead
But how do I tell myself to stay
When all I think about is what the voices say
I wish I could be better than this
Instead of talking to voices that don’t exist
I wish I could say I was never hit
And I haven’t made even a single slit
But all I can do is turn to a friend
One on which I can depend
Maybe I will see life through a different eye
And maybe I won’t wish to die
Still, all the people in time
Have a heart just like mine
We’re all fragile in our way
But some don’t live to see another day
