She Jumped

You said you wouldn't forget, but you did.
You let me down once again.
Don't you understand?
All I want is a decent friend.
Why do you think I let myself go?
I lost all respect for every single person I've ever known.
I've got demons that I just can't let go. 
I've changed myself so much I think I've made an ode:
Here I am again, still lost in oblivion.
I hardly know my name.
How long can I continue being so fake?
Life is a mind game and I'm playing it pretty lame.
I have some friends but they're all the same.
They don't understand me at all so I pull out a sharp blade.
When I cut, I feel like I have control so why do me send me to a mental hospital?
They don't help me there.
They tell me I'm wrong and that I've caused some trouble.
Sorry mom, for your finance bill, but maybe if things would have worked out, I'd still be sitting in a window sill instead of this hell.
Sorry dad, this is mostly your fault. You were too selfish to care and left me to rot.
I'm getting really tired of this place so where can I find the top?
It's pretty high up, I don't think I'd make it if I accidentally jumped.
There's blood coming out of my ears so I think it worked. 
I see something bright and I'm ready for more torture.
