My cause of death won't be A physical ailment I won't have a heart attack I won't get heart disease I won't be plagued with cancer I won't die of old age The cause of my death will be The fact that I give all of myself I stop whatever it is I'm doing To help those around me I listen to and advise my friends I assist my family While no one does that for me I am left alone 99% of the time The cause of my death will be The fact that I must internalize Whatever emotions I feel Because nobody understands How deeply they go They judge me and find me crazy There is no one out there Who is as equally emotionally strung I am alone The cause of my death will be The fact that when I get sick Or when I am hospitalized Like I was earlier this month No one seems to think it's a big deal My mother doesn't pay much mind Not even the one I'm in love with Said one word to me I was alone The cause of my death will be The fact that I don't see hope for the future I see ignorance all around me I see laziness and poverty I don't see any opportunities For me to get out of this place I am wandering aimlessly And alone The cause of my death will be The fact that I hate myself For allowing my heart and my soul To break as they both have I am hypersensitive I feel abandoned I am weak and fragile Even in a crowd of people I always feel alone No, I will not die from something physical I will die from a broken heart

Cause Of Death
My cause of death won't be A physical ailment I won't have a heart attack I won't get heart disease I won't be plagued with cancer I won't die of old age The cause of my death will be The fact that I give all of myself I stop whatever it is I'm doing To help those around me I listen to and advise my friends I assist my family While no one does that for me I am left alone 99% of the time The cause of my death will be The fact that I must internalize Whatever emotions I feel Because nobody understands How deeply they go They judge me and find me crazy There is no one out there Who is as equally emotionally strung I am alone The cause of my death will be The fact that when I get sick Or when I am hospitalized Like I was earlier this month No one seems to think it's a big deal My mother doesn't pay much mind Not even the one I'm in love with Said one word to me I was alone The cause of my death will be The fact that I don't see hope for the future I see ignorance all around me I see laziness and poverty I don't see any opportunities For me to get out of this place I am wandering aimlessly And alone The cause of my death will be The fact that I hate myself For allowing my heart and my soul To break as they both have I am hypersensitive I feel abandoned I am weak and fragile Even in a crowd of people I always feel alone No, I will not die from something physical I will die from a broken heart
