I am a coward,
But you wouldn't know that,
Because I am a coward.
Through my thoughts and words.
I am a coward,
Silent when I should've been loud;
I am a coward,
Doubtful when I should've been proud.
I shall bring shame to my family,
As some of them have brought mine;
I shall bring shame to those who surround me,
Those who said I shouldn't give up on the line.
I will be selfish,
I will be foolish,
I will be fiendish,
I will try to end it.
I have seen the ugly,
I have felt how ugly.
I have seen your sorrows;
Yet I have not faced mine.
Now I am a coward,
Keeping the things I should've said,
Nothing more than a coward,
A lost cause better dead.
Don't blame yourself,
When you come see my grave,
Put your fake face on the shelf,
For once don't be a knave.
For those I will leave grieving,
I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough;
Maybe you did start caring,
Started caring but not enough.
I am a coward.
Put none on faith,
All alone, a *******
Alone and lost and frail.
I am a coward,
To let myself be conquered,
By sickness and my thoughts,
By circumstance and words.
I am a coward,
Without saying why;
I am a coward,
To leave without saying goodbye.
I am a coward,
To end abruptly my own strife,
I wish you would forgive me,
For giving up my life.
To those who see these words,
May my omen bring you a sign;
Don't be alone, or at least try;
Don't repeat what mistake have I.
I am a coward.
It took me so long to let you know.
I am a coward.
Hopefully this goodbye isn't just for show.

I'm sorry but I'll try to **** myself tonight.
The pain's so much to bear
A dumb decision but one I stand by
Goodbye.
