I know it's hard for you

It always had been

The anxiety in your body

The pain in your heart

They destroyed a living art

The darkness in your mind

That tints your life black

You beared every bad thing

And you did a good job.

Nevertheless, your heart beats

And you continued living

Even if you are also dying

Walls, thick and high, were made,

Your heart, as empty as vacuum,

They must've think you're okay

But I said your not

Yet they didn't believe.

And here you are,

Laying on your bed

Straight, with heavy breathing

Wishing yourself dead

But I'm afraid you're not

You're still alive

But wishing you could end

End your life, end everything

The cuts on your arm,

The rope you hid under your bed

The gun on your dad's room

They can end you

But please don't

This elegy is for you

Because you believe you're dead

But I wish you still can live

Live a life- a happy, comfy one.
