It was so many months ago, On the feast of the deceased, Jack-o-lanterns' gleaming glow, Soul tormented by savage beast. Overworked and overstretched, On cold nights, with howling wolves, Loneliness had scratched and etched; Pride been trampled by heavy hooves. Agony ached through my body, Poisoning mind and spirit's heart. Workmanship's been so shoddy, Every day was a hard start. And so I thought, 'Why am I here?' 'Nobody cares or even thinks of me,' 'Only torment strikes mine ear,' 'Better to shut up and dare not plea.' So they checked me out of school, Bunch of suits forced me to hospital, Examined by creeps while on the stool; Why was everyone so hostile? That night, I tried to fall asleep, Poison and toxins flying 'round, Cruel cameras watching me weep, Whatever happiness had been drowned.

It was so many months ago, On the feast of the deceased, Jack-o-lanterns' gleaming glow, Soul tormented by savage beast. Overworked and overstretched, On cold nights, with howling wolves, Loneliness had scratched and etched; Pride been trampled by heavy hooves. Agony ached through my body, Poisoning mind and spirit's heart. Workmanship's been so shoddy, Every day was a hard start. And so I thought, 'Why am I here?' 'Nobody cares or even thinks of me,' 'Only torment strikes mine ear,' 'Better to shut up and dare not plea.' So they checked me out of school, Bunch of suits forced me to hospital, Examined by creeps while on the stool; Why was everyone so hostile? That night, I tried to fall asleep, Poison and toxins flying 'round, Cruel cameras watching me weep, Whatever happiness had been drowned.
I put off writing this one for a whole week, because this one was very personal to me. For those of you who follow me, this is the explanation of my suicide crisis.
