stop.

I can tell you point blank

that suicide ain't the answer

to anyone's problems

no matter how God damn awful they are

 

if it doesn't work the first time

then that's a miss

the second? eh, luck

but the third? stop fucking trying

you're supposed to live

if you aren't dead yet 

then you're supposed to fucking live

 

I've tried 23 times to off myself

and never learned my lesson

they say the definition

of insanity

is trying the same thing

over and over

and expecting a different result

so call me insane

they sure did

and I did too

 

always an excuse to try again

just when you've escaped despair

a fight with a friend

some bitch at school

mom shouting

then at last

an escape from it all

a few too many pills

or a cut too deep

 

but it never works

it never fucking works

i've lost too many friends

the world has lost too many great people

this shit needs to stop

 

people need to start

being kind to each other 

instead of constantly

putting them down

work out your God damn problems people!

people deserve a nice long life 

and if people don't notice

the darkness in another

and help before it

consumes them

then their fucking life 

is in their hands

and it's their God damn fault

if they don't get their

haply life
