If Only
If you only walk
A day in my shoes
Then you'll understand
That I don't get to choose
To laugh or smile,
That crying is the only way
To survive to see
Another day
If you could hear
The voices in my mind
You will know that they
Are not very kind
If you could live
One day in my head
You'll understand
Why I'd rather be dead.
Try spending a moment
Within my heart
You'll see that I'm broken
And fallen apart.
If you were able
To see what I see
You'll know why I don't
Want to be me.
If only you could
Hear what I hear
You'll know why I keep
Living in fear.
So do not judge
My suicide
You don't know what
I feel inside.
