"His Last Words"

Just an average girl
She always wore a smile
She was cheerful and happy for a short while
Now he's older
Things are getting colder
Life's not what he thought, he wished someone had told him

She told you she was down, you let it slip by
So from then on he kept it on the inside
He told himself he was alright
But he was telling white lies
Can't you tell? Look at her dull eyes

Tried to stop himself from crying almost every night
But he knew there was no chance of feeling alright
Summer came by, all she wore was long sleeves
'Cause those cuts on his wrists were bleeding through you see

He knew he was depressed, didn't want to admit it
Didn't think he fit it, everyone seemed to miss it
He carried on like a soldier with a battle wound
Bleeding out from every cut his body consumed

She had no friends at school, all alone she sat
And if someone were to notice he would blame the cat
But those cuts on her wrist, they were no mistake
But no one cared enough to save his from this self-hate

Things were going down, never really up
And here he is now stuck in this stupid rut
He knew exactly what he had to do next
Just stand on that chair and tie the rope around his neck

He wrote a letter with his hands shaking wild
"Look at me now! Are you proud of your precious child?"
He knew that his parents wasn't the one to blame
It was the world that should bow down their heads in shame

He stood up on the chair and looked out at the moon
Just don't think, it'll all be over soon
The chair fell down as he took his final breath
It's all over, all gone, now he's greeting death

His mom walks in, she falls down to the floor
And now nothing can take back what she just saw
The boy that she raised is just hanging there
His body's pale and his face is violently bare

She sees the note and unfolds it with care
All she does is stare, "How can this be fair?"
She starts reading as the tears roll down her face
"I'm sorry mom, but this world is just not my place

I've tried for so long to fix this and fit in
I've come to realize this world's full of sin
There's nothing for me here, I'm just a waste of space
I've got no reason to stay here with this awful race

It's a disgrace, I was misplaced
Born in the wrong time and in the wrong place
It's okay though, 'cause you'll see me soon
You'll know when your time has come, just look at the moon

As it shines bright throughout the night
And remember everyone's facing their own fight
But I can't deal with the pain, I'm not a fighter
You'll make it through the night, just hug your pillow tighter

So let the world know, that I died in vain
'Cause the world around me, is the one to blame
And I know in a year, you'll forget I'm gone
'Cause I'm not really something to be dwelled on

That's what they used to tell me, all those kids at school
So I'm going by the law, "majority rules"
My presence on this earth is not needed any longer
And if anything, I hope this makes you stronger

You're the best friend that I ever had
It's such a shame I had to make you so very sad
But just remember that you meant everything to me
And to my heart, you're the only one that held the key

Now it's time to go, I'm running out of space to write
And yes I lost my fight, but please just hold on tight
I'm watching over you from the clouds above
And sending down the purest and whitest dove

To watch over you, and be my helpful eye
So this is it, world, goodbye."
