What In the World?
What in the world were you thinking?
You left my heart sinking
If you had come to me
I would have heard your plea
And it would have been easier on me
Your very best friend
But in the end, you decided to take your life
You just picked up that knife
And slit your wrists
Your list of problems went through the roof
You thought nobody cared about you
But nothing could be further from the truth
You sat in your room all alone
While outside the people you hid
From were growing ever more fond of you
They were scared, not knowing what to do
You could have gone to them, they cared too
But instead you took the easy way out
You didn't scream or shout
You left the world more quietly than you entered it
Not careing about the people you left behind
Or the effect it had on them
For you to end your short life.
