The tears are gone


But the pain is still there


"Oh you're beautiful"


"Stop being so hard on yourself"


They say


You think that helps


So you keep saying things like...


That


Really


It makes me feel worse


What if you're lying?


I can't see the beauty in myself


So why should anyone else?


You all deserve to live


But me?


I'm already dead


9 out of 10 kids


Die


From suicide


Is that a real fact?


No


But it is how I see it


Let me be that 9 out of 10


Let me rest my head


Dead


And forget this pain
