Can I give up?
Can I just say,
Fuck you world,
I can't take this anymore?
Can I just scream,
Till my lungs
Give out,
And you can't hear me?
Can I cry so hard,
I can't breath,
That people would come and comfort me?
Can I punch the wall,
Until there's a hole,
Or until my fists bleed?
Can I just jump off a bridge,
Into a river that flows,
Into an ocean?
Can I swim in the ocean
Along with the dolphins and sharks?
Can I just give up?
I just want to be held,
And told everything will be okay...
Can I just have no stress,
So I don't cut my flash,
And watch the blood come to the surface?
Can I please just disappear?
Can you please just make,
Everyone go away...
Or make the people who do care,
Stay with me...
I just want to give up...
But the question is,
Can I?
