Dark Places

People can't understand why
Why I'd rather give up on life and die
They think I don't have fight in me
When I've been in battles a plenty
And I've come out on top
But life doesn't stop
It delivers one blow after the next
No one knows how many are left
And those that don't care
Never really wanted to be there
They just wanted me to go away
So that they can carry on with their day
And even though I stand tall
And fight through it all
The dark thoughts creep in
Which causes me to sin
And causes me to think horrible things
Do things that shouldn't be seen
Love replaces hate
I have feelings that I fight not to escape
And in the end
When I realize that I have no friends
I ask why
Why not die?
Why not end it all?
Everyone is already waiting on my downfall
These are feelings that I face everyday
So I ask you, how would you feel being me for a day?
