What's the point? I mean we are all going to die
If I don't want to live then why should I?
Because it's 'not right' or because it's 'a sin' ?
What about my feelings? Don't they get a say?
I have been pondering a question recently
And I have put much thought into it
If I wish that I were never born...
Is that the same thing as wishing I were dead?
If I were never born I wouldn't met my nephew
The one who saved me from myself
I wouldn't have five amazing brothers
Or 5 beautiful sisters whom I love
On the other hand I wouldn't have any pain
There wouldn't be a dead beat dad
Or an absent mom to leave me to raise her kids
Sometimes I wish I were dead
To be able to take the pain and sorrow away
I wouldn't have to worry about my grades
Or making sure my brothers brush their teeth
But I would leave them with pain
And that's the reason I would leave, right?
To take my pain away
Would it be fair to punish them for my benefit?
What would it do to my family?
Is my happiness worth their grievances?
The choices I must make...
