Death Do Me Away

Here I lay holding out my hands
My scars are visible 
But you know what I cant't stand?
Your selfish acts kill my soul
Drown me in your wants and lack of self-control
For I lay here lifeless and still
The way I've wanted it
Just peacful and not ill
For somehow I know no one will miss me
But my soul is stron gnow
I shall haunt thee
You've only caused me torment and pain 
BUt soon you shall know how it feels
While you hear my laughter
For here i shall stay 
For now death can't even do me away
I lay here once more
Holding out my hanfdfs
While you walk past with a smile and a grin
But that's alright
I'm able to tolerate the pain
BUt soon you shall have yours coming
And i will never again be afraid

Thank you guys ^_^ this was written in a tough part of my life where I was going through emotional stress and ended up needing treatment in a mental hospital for depression and cutting. This was the output later on.
