First attempt,With a knife to stab myself,
I failed to die because of a song
Playing next to my home.
Second and third attempt,
I tried to drink pills,
That will let me sleep forever.
But I failed because next to it
Is a book with the words of wisdom.
Fourth and fifth attempt,
On the road full of cars,
I tried to crossed the street on purpose
But again, I failed.
For the fear is still inside me,
Thoughts of sorrow and tears,
Of the ones who loves me,
And their life without me.
Sixth attempt,
I wish I'll success,
But I guess it's still not my time yet.
The last attempt,
I buried myself into sleep.
Using many blankets and pillows,
With no air for me to breathe.
A knock from the door stopped me,
It was her birthday and she's inviting me.
How ironic it is,
To die on someone's birthday,
I can't believe it.
I guess it's really not my time yet,
I can't help but to sarcastically laugh,
In those seven attempts, nothing killed me
Maybe I still have a reason to live,
I still have a mission to complete.
