there's hope in the midst of darkness

I may have been in a dark place
There were times when I wanted
to quit
I wanted this pain to go away

So I picked up the blade
No one sees the pain I'm in
I'm screaming out for help

I start to cut my wrists
With tears rolling down my face
I can't live like this anymore

I'm going in and out of
consciousness
My mom rushes into my room
To find me unconscious on my
bedroom floor

I'm rushed to the hospital
The doctor tells my mom," please
forgive me for the words I'm
about to say."
My mom starts to scream her
lungs out

My mom had blamed herself for
my death
My death wasn't my mom's fault
It was the people at school to
blame

My mom now goes to schools to
share my story
Telling them that there is hope
And all you have to do is reach
out
