For what? For whom? Why should I stay In a world ungrateful for all my good deeds A world where my sexuality is a joke A world where my gender and color make me inferior A world in which I am but a spec Who cares if I stay? Clearly no one For there is no one by my side Right now as I prepare to die No one holding my hand No one offering their shoulder for me to cry No one comforting me No one to tell me its going to be fine I was there for them when they had the pettiest issues Or needed small favors I did it all with a smile Where are they now When my life hangs by a string Ready to snap any minute ‘You see’ I say to the voice in my head Let me go. No one cares if I stay ‘But you matter’ the voice responds ‘You are in this world for a purpose Which you must fulfill Even if you are on your own’ I sway My knees can’t bear the weight Of all that’s in my head My eyes can’t see anymore, my hands shake My sense giving up with my heart ‘Stay’ the voice says ‘Please’ ‘I cant’ I say as my feet part with the sill I tried I tried I say As my body reached the grave I tried hard I tried long But I am sorry I wasn’t brave enough to fight my way out of the darkness Or stay I tried I tried
