One minute to the next
I look back and think
Where did I go wrong?
It’s like a sad song

My heart is broke
I lost my girl
I’m lost in this world
I ponder what silence would be like

Silence ?
24 hours a day I hear screams
I plead with them
They just laugh

36 pills didn’t work
All I thought about was what a ****
I couldn’t even do that right
Stupid **** all I wanted was peace

I once hung a rope
I jumped and hung for about 45 seconds
The rope broke
I looked up with such dissatisfaction
I wanted peace

All the signs are there
I mope
I sleep a lot
I even cried out for help
Only to be told I’m weak

I only want peace
At any cost
It’s a game I need to learn how to beat
Suicide the end to the pain
The love isn’t there
My heart is dead.

Take that 45 put it to my head
Bang I’ll be dead
I’ll be gone
And all your problems will be to.

I’m a burden
I am no good for anyone
Until my moment of peace
I say to you all I’ll play this game
Shuffle the deck
Rummy is on
Don’t worry I’ll go on.
Life is complicated thoughts of suicide is a reoccurring problem. I just play the game.
