Bootstrap
I have proverbial boot straps
And I pull them everyday
They bundle tight the kitchen knives
And keep the guns at bay
But there will be a time
I mean there's gonna be a day
Where I let loose these imaginary shoestrings
And take my life away
And you may think don't go
You might even yell please stay
This is not a game of wills
I have no cards left to play
Do not conflate my mental illness
With my willingness to stay
This world and you were beautiful
Come what may
If you are feeling unsafe or in anyway not in control of your behavior please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (U.S) 1-800-273-8255
