BURN (Wattys2015?)

government property

america, the land of the free!

but you're not free to take and destroy

"government property"

i suppose you didn't notice the scars on my wrists

or the look in my eyes

i suppose you didn't realize that if you love me

you'd let me go, you'd let me die

it's a crime that i'm tired

it's a crime that i'm sad

it's a crime you won't let me succeed

you seem to not realize that death 

is all i want and all i need

i hate that i have to be so blunt

but you can't seem to understand my subtleties

do i really have to get down and beg?

please

you don't understand, you don't understand

none of you understand

all you do is stop me and lie to me

"i love you i'm here for you"

NO

because if you loved me, you'd let me go

you're SELFISH

you're so so sosososososoosososososooo SELFISH

you want me here so you won't be sad

you want me here so you won't cry

you don't seem to care that i want to die

if an animal is in pain, you say

"aw, oh no! we have to end it's suffering"

but when i'm in pain, you say

"be strong, you'll get through it! you'll be okay

eventually you'll have brighter days"

YOU. REALLY. DON'T. GET. IT?

it's not about being happy! it's not about being sad!

it's not about depression or pain or hurt

it's about me wanting to do what i want

it's my body--it's my choice, right?

i don't want to live

i should have a right to die

shouldn't i?

shouldn't i?

i want a bracelet that reads

"do not resuscitate"

because you people went ahead and revived me

i didn't want to be revived

because like i've said and i've said and i've screamed

I DON'T WANT TO BE ALIVE

do you finally get it now?

do you?

listen, it's not that i don't care about you

it's not that i don't think i can get "through this"

(darling, you don't even know what "this" is)

death is merely another adventure

i'm bored and i'm ready

let me go, let me go

please let me go

i'm ready, let me go

let me go let me go

why won't you please let me go?

who is to say death is the end of all things?

who is to say there's nothing after?

maybe i'll see you again

but right now i really don't want to see you again

i really just want to leave

but you won't let be go

so i hate you i hate you

i hate you all

selfish, disgusting

i hate you 

for hating me by keeping me

chained here

when all i want is to go

get it?
