You can't feel like this.
Only I can.
I guess that's my downfall.
I'm a hypocrite.
You have to keep your chin up
While I cry in a corner.

When you break I break,
When I break I bleed.
I care about you
But you can't help me.
A knife cuts out the pain -
The blood is my relief.

Make me choose -
Smoking or the knife?
You don't like either
But nothing else helps.
How can they
Without a diagnosis?

If I'm like this
In my 20s
Then fuck it,
I'm done.
Bye bye birdy,
See you in hell.

Suicide is a sin.
Bullying isn't.
I'll cope with their shit
If there's a resolve.
Oh, there isn't?
Consider me gone.

You have to get better,
Fight through this all.
My end
Is your beginning.
