Suicide
What if you tried suicide
And by mistake you up and died
Would the demons laugh while God cried
If you were to take your life
If you think, things aren't running right for me
Do you need to step out that drastically
Wouldn't it be better if you could keep
From doing harm to the one you call me
Doesn't tomorrow bring another day
A chance to better the come what may
A chance to act a chance to say
There's more to life that I can make
Suicide is not a step that's light
It's the short end of the rope, the snake that bites
The loss of the string on the kite of life
The mistake you make you make too late to find
It's the cowardly way in which to say
I can't make it through another day
Come what will, come what may
You need to live this life before it's too late
Because what you find with suicide
It's also the ones you leave behind that die
Where the demons laugh and God cries
When you can't take anymore and you take your life
