My heart has broken in two,

I think my whole life is through.

The pain the hurt eating at my mind,

This hell is where I live where I'm confined.

I live with so much strife,

In this hell you call life.

All I want to do is die,

Maybe I should commit suicide...

Then my troubles would go away,

I wont have to live another day.

It will be better for everyone,

Then my parents would be down to one son.

Tell my friends I said goodbye,

Have a fun life and please don't cry.

They'll forget about me anyway,

They will forget this very day.

I slit my wrists and watch the blood,

Hit the floor and create a small flood.

All I can feel is this horrible pain,

Running through every vein.

Everything is blurry I start to fall,

Now on the ground I try to crawl.

Stop this pain it hurts so bad,

Look at the things you do when you're sad.

I wanted this to happen but now I'm not sure,

My life has taken a detour.

Will I ever come to again?

Or can this really be my end?

Is my life over have I made this set?

I'm dead but my mind doesn't know it yet
