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.
