You Were Right

As i sit here contimplating suicide A
I try to remember why im even alive B
I dont contribute to society C
And i push people away blatantly C

One cut for each of the people ive hurt D
I dont have to cover these up with a long sleeved shirt D
They bleed and bleed until i dont think theyll stop E
One more second and i think i might drop E

They sting and burn F
And twist and turn F
Seems i cant even do that right G
Look! I think i can see the light G

Goodbye H
Ill fly H
Tonight G
You were right.G

The wonderful imaginations of you in my head. Good grief! We all think it, but none of us have ever written this down, until now. Well-written! Well done.

This one is darling. I had to read it three times to figure it out; I love the curiosity it formulated in my brain. I have not felt this curious or satisfifed in a long time. Well-done, Lisle. Well done!

My temperament it does shape; this is so absolutely true. When I hear 60's and 70's music while driving I've suddenly jumped for 45 mpht 90 mph.
