Maybe I'm not sorry
That I left you all behind
Maybe this is what I need
And iv made up my mind
Suicide is selfish
Thats what you all will say
But your the ones who make me
Live like this each day
Every second hurts
More painful than the last
And i will forever hate myself
As I relive my past
So I hate you all everyone
To the very end
For all the hatred and anger
That you always send
Cause suicides not selfish
When the world wants you to die
So it's you that needs to ask yourself
Why I had to say goodbye
Maybe your the selfish one
For telling me to stay
But not giving me a reason
Not to go away
Cause suicides not selfish
When you feel like I do
If you felt even half my pain
You would want to end it too.

The many suicides of black men
Black men deserve love too
Even if its just a simple 'I love you'
The world tells them they have to be tough
But enough is enough
If you're complicit
In being a witness
Of their mental health issues
Don't be confused
If they choose suicide
Don't be surprised
I mean you didn't care when they were alive
So dont you dare cry
How many times are we going to let this happen?
How many times will we as a society ignore them?
Because our black men deserve better
They deserved to be treasured
Because if we don't we'll lose them forever
As a society we can let them suffer
But we can be their protectors
My eyes are open yet I see nothing
because there is nothing to see,
I go to my job and stare at the clock
there's nothing that I want to be,
I long to be conscious when I am
asleep
perhaps in my dreams I am free,
I seem alive but I'm really half-dead
and my path is strewn with debris.
In despair,
beyond-pain, I will watch my dreams
in rimless eyes of wet faces.
The lake had been sending back
the white and black shrouds
everyday.
They were jumping one by one
old and young,
from the twisted planks
holding geraniums.
A warm prayer on the lips,
what was left worth enduring ?
The innocence, the guilt, the shame ?
Clinging to bloody lumps of happiness
who is going to have a last laugh ?
Time is breathing gloom,
body is attached to a pole.

The latest survey
eighty suicides per day
by our Veterans
Such a big disgrace
CBS investigates
this whole cover up
These folks fought for us
no one's taking care of them
they would rather die
Someone should be held
accountable for each one
who takes his own life
If they had something
that they could look forward to
they won't want to die
There's hope in Jesus
message needs to go across
that bad times don't last
