No one deserves it

Some believe they do

You can't escape it

The darkness that is coming


We can't all handle it

On our own

We need help


We blame ourselves

Even if we didn't know

Didn't know who they were

What they were going through


It's something we feel

We feel like we could have helped


Some take pills

Some cut

Some take a bullet

Some jump


You can't do anything

Nothing to stop them

You can only watch

as they take their own life


You scream

You cry

You can't be heard

You call

for help


They say

it needed to be done

Before there gone

You can't take it


You lift a knife

to your throat

Like they did

You cry

Knowing

if you said something

They could have

Survived


You slit your throat

Watching as blood spills out

Your vision starts to fade

Everything is dark


You see a bright light

You see them

The one who did it

Before you

They start to cry


"Why did you do it?"

They ask

"For you, I couldn't

live without you."

"You have to."


You feel nothing

Then you hear beeping

You feel pain

You open your eyes


There are bright lights

White walls

You failed

You have to live without them


You

Can't

Escape
