Not What You Thought

smiling is my front
but am i really just okay?
how close do you think i am
to letting it float away
yeah I'm happy for a second
but thats just my depression's meal
it eats it in a heart beat
Now look where i am for real
This is my corner
Where i lay and die
I cry for help but no one answers
my voice is silent but why?
i shudder from fear
holding back everything
letting fall just one tear
for the doubt  bestowed upon me
that made me even more near
my fate of death
with just one flick of the wrist
I'll fall to the floor in this corner
the knife in hand
the note lays beside me
Letting me let you know
I cant handle life anymore
So now I'll say goodbye

    That is my favourite bit, need I say more.
    Truly amazing stuff.
