Holding tight
to my life
dangling from a string
I'm to tired
no fire
left within me
Tired of plastering
this mask
on my face
tired of pretending
that I'm OK
When i go
You'll realize
you never knew me
When I'm gone
You'll see
you could have saved me
I let myself
live one more day
before i give myself
the OK
to take my life away
with stuttering breaths
i use the knife
let the crimson blood
run to the ground
without a sound
i lie on the ground
till darkness envelops me
At my funeral
You'll see
that the pain inside was real
Instead of acting
That i would be fine still
I cry for help
a desperate plea
but know one
can ever see
The deep pain inside me
