I Sought

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.
