It's no ones fault but mine
And I've taken all this time
To trap myself within my mind
To take a chance to settle lies
I know the world is staring at me
Whispering words behind their hands
With all intentions for me to take a stand
Yet the hardest part is I agree
In everything they say to me
I'm not the aspect of what you see
What you need
What I should be
I've broken down my every hope
I've torn down every rope
Hanging me, by my neck
Swinging me on lifes long deck
Because like a pirate,
I will walk my plank
I will make my claim
On this land, They call death
And no one will see me back
It's not a suicide
It's my own right
To bring to me another life
Another kind
And so I leave here tonight
Hoping I won't leave a fright
Because in this day
and in this time
We all know, We're not alright

11. “When we don’t know how to hate we hate ourselves”. Chuck Palahniuk
Sort of about suicide. but more about hating yourself and the world around you.
Much like the quote.

Yeah too often we do hate ourselves but we shouldn't because we are all special to God.
Great job on the writing though. Good luck with the contest.
