Better Off Dead

Better off dead I don’t want to feel the pain anymore Better off dead I don’t want to feel anymore Lay me down, let me rot to the ground Let me sleep unaware of anything Shoot me up with the drugs to make me sleep a hundred years Not knowing anyone No pain can come to me anymore I can’t continue I can’t continue Lay me down and bury me Better off dead

Hey hope you are ok, pain always passes and you are not better off dead as there are lots of people around you who care and love you...

What breath of Hope I had is gone. The memories haunt me everyday If I can see what lays ahead Something more wonderful Than perhaps I’m not better off dead

Hello Paul Murray, Gee, I hope this is just a poem. My guess you were hurt very badly. Enjoy your evening my friend.
