Let Me Go

No one will let me die. 
Just let me fall asleep, 
To never awaken. 
Slit my wrists, 
Watch them bleed. 
Hold my lifeless body in your arms. 
I hear you cry. 
I can't hug you and tell you it's all right. 
Now i'm scared. 
I watch all my friends cry, 
At my funeral. 
I want to stand in front of everyone, 
Say, I'm here, you don't need to cry. 
Then I remember. . . 
I'm dead.
