All I want...
is to die.
This isn't something to fret about...
so don't cry.
You know I've wanted this...
I've wanted it for a while.
I just didn't show it...
and hid it under a smile.
I'll admit...
I didn't know I wanted to.
For a while...
that was the LAST thing I wanted to do.
But underneath it all...
its still what I crave.
The longing for death...
its all the same.
I wish I didn't want it...
I wish it with my very last breath.
But I just can't help...
the urge I have for death.
