Scary thoughts scratching the inside of my head
Screaming at me you should be dead
Telling me no one will miss my smile
Telling me they won't notice for a while

I try to push the thoughts away
To think of a reason to survive another day
Darkness closing in on me
I have to find a way to be free

I breathe and breathe and count to ten
I hear a friend say it will be ok again
Tears stream out until the ducts run dry
Left with thoughts of wondering why
Tired, exhausted, closing my eyes tight
Wishing for unconsciousness for the night
So tomorrow I can wake and continue my fight
