WHY?

Why will no one listen,

To these screams and shouts of pain?

Why will no one listen,

Though I shout again and again?

Why will no one see,

The things that I go through?

Why will no one see,

That I need someone to talk to?

Why will no one see,

That I want to grab a blade and die?

If I did would anyone hear me?

Would anyone even cry?

Why does everyone ignore me,

In this desperate time of need?

Why does no one take me seriously,

When I say my life I will cede?

Why does no one listen

When I say I will grab the knife?

Shove it through my blackened heart,

And let go of this life...

I need someone to listen,

One measly person just one,

To listen to what I have to say

Before I grab that gun...

Why dont YOU be the one to listen to me?

Why dont YOU be the one to stop this pain?

Why dont YOU be the one to comfort me?

Before I go insane?

All I want is someone to care

Someone who will comfort my fears.

Why dont YOU be that someone?

The one and only who hears...

This reminds me of something one of MY friends said to me one day as he was leaving the house to go to work. It seems crude but at the time it really helped me snap out of a dark mood. He said, "If you're going to kill yourself, could you at least put down some plastic sheets or something? I don't want a bunch of blood stains in the carpet."
