Death

Take a knife 
Hold it to your wrist
Threaten to cut 
It’ll make them pissed.

Take a gun
Hold it to your head
Tell them soon that you’ll be dead

Take a rope
Tie it round your neck
Tell your self you’ll soon forget 

Take a match 
Light up your bed
Crawl right in
It’ll fill them with dread 

Jump into a lake
Dive right down
Hold into something
Make your self drown

Smoke some drugs
Make your self ill
And if that doesn’t work
Take a pill

On your grave
They will cry
Wondering why you had to die

But they never looked
Never cared
Never saw that you were there 

So why should you stay alive in vain
When you can stop the hurt and pain

It’s over now
You’re in the ground
Never to make a move or sound

You’ll never talk
Never speak 
Never fight
You were too weak 

This is how most lives end
Never taking the time to mend

But this life was more then what it seemed
This was the life
Of an unloved teen.

Too many people can relate to your words, even tho they may not want to admit it. Well done.
