Change of Mind

Despite walking through darkness 
There’s a light at the end of this 
Despite these thoughts 
I know things can get better 

Always wishing I could be dead 
When I need more sleep 
Asking for a bullet to the head 
When I need more time to think 

To think about who I’ll hurt 
If I end this life of mines 
My mom at my funeral, crying 
Her heart broken, never getting the chance to see her son again.

Not trying Rest In Peace 
For all of eternity 
But just want to find internal peace 
While I’m still alive 

I’m at my lowest 
But I know there’ll be a day 
When I’m at my highest 
So I can’t pass if I’m not at my best 

Can’t end a legend 
When the story hasn’t even begun
