I just want to die
but I can’t bear to see my mama cry
I heard strong people cry at night
but I’m sick and tired of fighting
Dear God
if I were to take my life
would I be doing the right thing?
They’ve asked me countless of times how I am, I always say I’m fine
but some of them know I’m lying
if I tie that rope
I’ll hang my mother’s hope
of ever healing.
But honestly I just want to stop breathing.
