Can I just give up on being alive?

Can I give up on being so kind?

Can I be allowed be myself

Can I be the person I love

No

I have to impress

No

I have to be like this

But what I was normal

What I was me

Can I be happy?

Just for once?

Please

What did do wrong

How does this hurt you?

Me being who I like

How does affect you?

I'm sorry if I'm not fucking perfect

Like your plastic dolls

I'm sorry if I'm who you want me to be

I am me

I'm the person I want be

I think?

Can I just give up on being alive?

Can I give up on being so kind?

Can I be allowed be myself

Can I be the person I love

No

I have to impress

No

I have to be like this

But what I was normal

What I was me

Can I be happy?

Just for once?

Please

I'm one step from falling of the edge

Oh shit my arms bleeding again

Running out of band aids

Can't tell mom why we keep on needing more

Just another reason to hate me again

Fuck someone's at the door

Saying 'honey I heard a shout'

Nah who cares anyways

Not like you want me for me

Put that smile on my face

Wipe of my arm

'Come in!'

Can I just give up on being alive?

Can I give up on being so kind?

Can I be allowed be myself

Can I be the person I love

No

I have to impress

No

I have to be like this

But what I was normal

What I was me

Can I be happy?

Just for once?

Please

Damn

Happened again

Pills this time

Feeling..

Little..

Tipsy..

Shit I'm in the hospital

Mom's crying dad's shouting

Sis won't talk and I'm flipping

I'm trying to defend myself

'It's not my fault!'

'Oh yes it is young lady!!'

They leave for the night

All there is is the beep of a machine

If I could reach

I could get that vial

Damn short arms

Damn life

Can I just give up on being alive?

Can I give up on being so kind?

Can I be allowed be myself

Can I be the person I love

No

I have to impress

No

I have to be like this

But what I was normal

What I was me

Can I be happy?

Just for once?

Please

Morning time doctors say my parents aren't coming

But I still have a visitor

Oh shit it's her

Got tears in her eyes

She's asking me why

I just look the sky

Wishing I could leave and fly

She takes my hand and begs me to smile

'The real one. Please.'

Wait what

She noticed

She cared

Heh, um, what?!

'You're perfect to me'

Oh shit plot twist
