I'm Always Near

No one seems to notice me

It is like I am not there

Why do I feel so alone

When I know people really care?

I have struggled so much

Day in and day out

Trying to find happiness

But I need a new route

I’ve tried so many ways

To deal with all the pain

I want this all to end

My goals I can’t obtain

I used to be strong

But inside I am weak

The mask I have worn

Is made of concrete

My arms are all torn up

And a lot of people stare

But yet I keep on cutting

And I don’t really care

The fate of my rough life

Lie in a bunch of pills

This route I choose

Is good because it kills

Yes to me it sounds great

To have my life end

The holes in my life

I am not able to mend

It may be hard for you

To hear how I feel

But I want you to know

My scars will never heal

I wish I could tell you why

But there is no way I can

The only thing I can say, though

That this is all part of the plan

It is hard to explain

Why I want to die

I just don’t think I can make it

I have only begun to cry

Now as it is time for me to go

I want to you to hear

That I love you all

And I will always be near
