Why Can'T I Give Up

Death.....
Tastes so sweet
Wish I was there
And not here
I slit my wrists
But I'm still here
I'm still living
I overdose
But I only slept
Went to slit my throat
Only to drop the blade
I'm still here
With nowhere left to go
He hits me
She cusses me out
They both say it's all my fault
I should just give up
I've tried 
It didn't work 
The tears I shed
Are all too real 
I just want to rest 
In an eternal sleep
Everyone would be better off 
If I wasn't here
Everyone would be happy
But..........
I'm too incompetent
I can't do it right
I'm sick of waking up everyday
I can't take it much longer
I'm such a screwup
Why can't I just give up?
