the letter that almost was
why do I feel the way I feel
why do I want to hurt myself
why do I feel that I’d be better dead
why do they hate me
why won’t they accept that I’m human
why don’t they get that we make mistakes
why do they hurt people
why do they think it’s okay
it’s not okay
I’m not okay
it isn’t normal to hurt myself
why am I a coward
do they think I’m a coward
I don’t care what they think
they’re all stupid anyway
but they still hate me just the same
I wish I was normal
death is normal so maybe I’ll try that
I’m sorry I’m disappointing
I’m sorry I’m not good enough
I’m sorry I won’t be there for you
I’m sorry, I would take care of you
but I’m too weak
I’ll never make it out alive
at least I’ll die trying
maybe then they’ll be better
maybe they’ll learn
maybe when I’m gone they’ll stop
they’ll see what they did
they’ll never forgive themselves
or maybe they will forget
maybe they’ll never notice me
and maybe I’ll just fade away
nobody cares about me anyway
even you don’t think I’m enough
you never said it but I know you think it
it’s in the way you talk to me
it’s in the way you look at me
I told you I was drowning
you ignored me
I told you I needed your love
you shunned me
all I wanted was somebody to hold me
I needed to hear “it’ll be okay”
but I didn’t
you wouldn’t help me
and know I’m leaving
I'll be gone but at least I’ll be free
I don’t need anybody anymore
all I need is someone to hear me know
you couldn’t help me in this life
you all failed at that
but hear my last wish
don’t let me become a statistic
don’t let me be forgotten
I don’t want anybody else to be like me
to be alone and unloved is hard
so be there for the other ones
be there to stop the hatred and bullies
be there to keep them from drowning
be there to love them
be there to hold them
be there to tell them “it’ll be okay”
make sure this happens
tell the whole world my pathetic story
tell them how I suffered
and tell them that they can be different
they don’t have to live in the dark
I did, but know I’m gone
and I’m not coming home again
