My soul is blackened,
Dark like an eclipse of the sun.
I wish it'd never happened,
My life, it used to be fun.
Before this I was just your average child,
Messing around with a grin,
Wherever I went, I laughed and smiled,
As if a frown was a deadly sin.
That blissful state, it didn't last long,
All thanks to the people I know,
But even then I sung a cheerful song,
And didn't let the sadness show.
Then one sunny day I was confined to my room,
Sure that nobody cared.
I promised myself I would end it soon,
Convinced myself I wasn't scared.
My feet dangled from the window ledge,
My head was dizzy from the height,
I slowly pushed closer to the edge,
I'd be in a better place by tonight.
Before I could do what I wanted so badly,
A shout came from behind.
I couldn't just end it and die, sadly.
Why is peace so hard to find?
My parents screamed as if my plight was a crime,
My sister just stood and laughed.
I told them I was fine.
I should've known they weren't daft.
They locked my window,
I sat and cried.
I couldn't end it,
Why couldn't I have died?
I'd just like to inform you that this is all 100% true. I feel a little better confiding this to you all.
