I've always thought that killing myself
would be the way I'd go
leapt from the top of a tall tall cliff
take a running start then throw
my body falling through the air
spiraling down to the rocky ground.
But I'm too afraid that people care
more than they let show
and I'm afraid that they'll be sad
and that they'll never know
how much I really loved them.
It's wrong of me to think this way
people need me
and I'm here to stay;
I can't just abandon
the people I care about
I can't let my darkest thoughts win
all my problems, I just have to work out.
