"What You Made Me Do"

by KilimanjaroUSA

You call me names and curse me too,
what did I ever do to you?
I cry myself to sleep at night, hoping someone will see my plight.
Fake smiles every day, I wish the pain would go away.
Now I'm staring at the knife, that I'll use to end my life.
One big cut was all it took. Now I'll wait for someone to look,
on the bed, there's a letter
Addressed to you, in blood red letters,
The words, simple and cruel,
look at what you made me do.

'Suicide doesn't end the pain, it merely transfers it to the living'

By katlego

HAVE YOU EVER?
Sometimes pain renders one speechless
Have you ever felt so much pain you became emotionless
Moving slowly like a tranquiliser leaving you motionless
And the only strength you have is to climb up and tie a rope
Cos you've tried but was never able to cope
Your soul fails to give birth to hope
It resembles a barren womb
It is a home for failed and broken promises
Have you ever felt like your world is on the brink of armageddon
Destruction all around but the end seems nowhere near
Like death would be better cos tomorrow is your biggest fear
Feeling like every day of your life has just been a long Sunday for God
Have you ever smiled for a long time
And realized you've never actually really smiled for most of your life
Then someone says that you have a beautiful smile
Make-up is also beautiful but it's not actually real
Someone said for gold to be gold it first goes through fire to shine and show it's true beauty
Well, I am not gold, I am human, I am flesh
I go through fire I burn I get hurt
And there's no true beauty behind 3rd-degree burns
So I don't understand why they say pain makes you stronger or better
When it changes you for the worst forever
Have you ever felt so tired you wanted to close your eyes to never open
I hear people singing "mercy rewrote my life"
But there are so many people in the word
Maybe when mercy got to my life the ink was finished
Have you ever been so alone
Like everyone in your life let you speak to that white lady on the phone
Have you ever felt pain
When it showers down on your life like acid rain
Have you ever?
