Why Am I Alive

Tears stream from my eyes

More than rain falls from the skies

Depression takes over my life

So much that i cut my thigh with the blade of a knife

One day that knife will touch my throat

One...two...three

Drip...drip...drip

Trust me, my hand didn't just slip

Am i dead?

Or is this just all in my head?

One of those horrible dreams

That seem like they last forever

I'm alive...

Fuck, why am i alive?

Cut after cut and I'm still here

Why won't my body let me give up?

I can't do this anymore

Please just let me die

Being alive hurts too much

Can't you see that?

Just look into my eyes

Or even just look at my thighs

Now can i finally die?
