The Reasons Why

If I ever took my life What would I say What could I say That might explain The reasons why I chose to die Was it the loneliness I felt Friends lost and gone The men I couldnt get love from Parents forever unimpressed by grades, behaviour, The way I dressed. Overwhelmed by essays, reports Upcoming tests, presentations, all sorts Sleepless nights worried and stressed Crying, lamenting, anxious, depressed Not pleased with reflections Failed attempts at corrections No further directions Feeling insecure On show, exposed and raw Caught in the night Throat strangled tight Can't call for help Or rely on myself Feelings unshared Running from fears Drowning in tears And nobody knows that I'm here... I wonder... If I ever took my life Is this what I would say And could it would it Find a way To explain The reasons why I chose to die
