I tried watering a plant to find it was already dead She spoke to god but found out his voice was only in her head I cut my hair in hopes of reinventing my appearance She sliced her wrists in hopes of losing her existence I sang songs to the ocean hoping someone would hear me She tied a rope around her neck trying to set herself free I washed my hands in hopes of making them clean She often wonders what it's like to be buried 6 feet deep The thing about death is that it's always on our minds, It's just a matter who's ready for it and who's wishing for more time.
