Why live when it's easier to die?
Why smile when it's easier to cry?
Why try to pass when all you do is fail?
Why feel pain when you can make it go away?
Why love when love is full of doubt?
Why can't anyone tell me what life's about?
In spite of all I know that I want to live?
But why do I feel I have nothing left to give?
I am a poet writing about my pain.
I am person recovering and trying to gain.
I am your daughter who is trying to learn.
I am your sister who is starting to turn.
I am your friend acting like I am fine.
I am a wisher wishing you weren't mine.
I am a girl who thinks about suicide.
I am a teenager who pushes her feelings aside.
I am a student who knows nothing.
I am the one asking you to care.
I am your best friend hoping you will be there.
In everything I say you'll find the lie.
Everyday I'll lay and wait till the day I die.
I'm sick of hiding.
While everything's dividing.
I'm going to bleed.
It's what I need.
It makes me feel alive.
It helps me survive.
I'll put on a smile for you.
Because you deserve to be happy to.
It's not your fault I see the truth.
