I Sought
By: Jaelah Phantomhive
I sought to end the world
Because of pain, because of hate
I sought to end the world
Before it was too late
I sought to end the world
Free from judgement, free from fear
I sought to end the world
So that we could all see it clear
I sought to end my life
There’s no purpose, there’s no fight
I sought to end my life
When I had no one and lost sight
I sought to end my life
When no one listened and no one cared
I sought to end my life
To forget everything we shared
I sought to stand my ground
When I got fed up, when I had enough
I sought to stand my ground
Even when things got tough
I sought to stand my ground
To fight again and not back down
I sought to stand my ground
To show we have a voice and we make sound
I sought to save their lives
I knew their pain, I’ve heard those lies
I sought to save their lives
When they wanted to fly in the skies
I sought to save their lives
So they’d have someone and not have to worry
I sought to save their lives
So they could talk to someone and not be sorry
I sought for help
I can’t handle everything on my own
I sought for help
My fake happiness is all that I’ve shown
I sought for help
My mental state is getting worse everyday
They sought for help
They’re the only reason why I stayed.
