The day before you take your life
no one will know
Because you got good at hiding how you feel
You'll say your goodbyes to people who never cared to notice
The day you take your life
it'll be 3:05am and you will contemplate
But in the end the reasons to go are stronger than the
ones that there are to stay
The day after you take your life
Your mom will cry
and ask God "Why?"
Your sister will go to school because being strong
is better than being weak, she thinks
And she still won't know how to braid her hair
Because you never taught her
Your dad won't know because
he wasn't in your life
But when he does
He'll hate himself for being a part of your reasons
He'll cry for the years he missed
and will never get back
The day of your funeral
Everyone you know and love will be there
and they'll say how much of a light you were,
if only you felt that light inside.
If only you knew how many people loved you.
Maybe you'd still be here.
