You once told me that if you were to end your life, you'd pour chemicals on your car, On yourself, And maybe take a couple sips while your at it. You said you would light that **** on fire and watch the world burn around you. And I know that if you told that to our society, they would laugh and just say, "Don't forget to put on your seatbelt."

Seatbelt.
You once told me that if you were to end your life, you'd pour chemicals on your car, On yourself, And maybe take a couple sips while your at it. You said you would light that **** on fire and watch the world burn around you. And I know that if you told that to our society, they would laugh and just say, "Don't forget to put on your seatbelt."
This one is even a bit darker than usual, so I apologise for that. The message in this is about how society does not do enough about suicide prevention and mental health. My friend who suffers from very bad depression had a conversation with me about it and I wrote this.
