people try so hard
to do well in life
we try and try
but it is a futile attempt
at achieving what society
deems to be a life.

what happened
to the days
when living
was whatever
you wanted it to be?

what happened
to the days
when we
had control
over our lives?

maybe
that’s why suicide
is committed,

it’s our last chance
to exercise
some control
over our lives,

it’s our last chance
to show society
that we own our lives.
