When my mom said there was no evidence I couldn't believe my ears My nightmares were turning to reality And so were my fears I was so depressed So I stayed up at night Always hurting myself And wondering if suicide was right Nightmares and flashbacks Those were all I knew But still, I kept quiet No one had a clue Attempt after attempt They would never work I tried everything But the thoughts would always lurk So I took a step back And I racked my brain For reasons to get better And to not go insane What needs to happen Is I need to forgive you Not for you, but for me I hope you can forgive yourself, too
