To whom it may concern I have laid awake, wondering what it feels like to be alive. Even if just a moment, suspended in time, so I could re-live it over again. I have lived a life afraid to turn a page Fearing my suicide may lie on the other side. If I could steal every second of happiness, That you have had. My burdens would rain on your shoulders And I would be whole, for the first time, in a long time. Sheltered in poverty, I have never had a thing Pictures of a broken home lie around me This foundation was built to collapse I sit on the outside looking in A painful truth, hard to bear I see you, for what you are And I have nothing but a cold dead stare. I don't know what I have left Or what the world will do to me If I could write one last thing to you It would read "this place has nothing left for me"
