Suicidal Anthem

Shaded by all my failed attempts. Look at the marks on my wrists and neck.
     Only memories of good, have been able to save me.
I'm all alone in a world where only the strong can survive.
     And I am weak, I know I am, I've been leaching off the strong, wise, and 
healthy for far too long.  

  So let's end my streak of living, because I have nothing to live for. "Oh you can 
be anything you want, just put forth the effort, and all your dreams can come 
true."  A lie I have been told continuously. I know I am a failure, I have failed 
everything I have tried. So let's fail one more time, and give up on this thing called 
life.  So let's slit my wrists, let the blood swipe through, and there's only one thing 
left for me to do.  

So tonight is my last night, As I'm home alone, with nothing but horrid tales of my 
past.  Being bullied around, mocked, and teased, Well it will all end tonight. So 
find a new person to be your pet, because I'll protect myself, by taking my life.  I'll 
just grab the gun, a sure death I pray, and I'll point it at my heart, the only thing 
that has kept me alive upto this day.
