Secret

I have this little secret. It lives in the back of my head It tells me over and over I'd be better off if I were dead. It rumbles around inside And consumes my every thought It tells me over and over Life would be better if I were not. There are times that I agree Times that I'm unsure At times I push it down Other times I just endure. This little secret in my brain This haunting little thing It makes me hate myself It makes me hate everything.
