Why do I plan for the future, When I won’t I’ve past twenty-one? Why do I still bother trying, When I just want life to be done? They all say I’ll do great things, Even though I can’t get out of bed, So what’s the point in waking up, When I feel I’d be better off dead? Loneliness consumes my heart, And sorrow consumes my soul, So how can they see anything in me, When my future’s as dark as coal? They all say that they’d miss me, But I know that they’ll be fine, No one could ever miss, A life as worthless as mine.

Dying at 21
Why do I plan for the future, When I won’t I’ve past twenty-one? Why do I still bother trying, When I just want life to be done? They all say I’ll do great things, Even though I can’t get out of bed, So what’s the point in waking up, When I feel I’d be better off dead? Loneliness consumes my heart, And sorrow consumes my soul, So how can they see anything in me, When my future’s as dark as coal? They all say that they’d miss me, But I know that they’ll be fine, No one could ever miss, A life as worthless as mine.
