Suicide 2
Depression isn't easy to live with
That's why we think of suicide.
You never know who really cares
Until they hear you've died.
Don't give me all your bullshit,
Of how you've overcome.
That isn't what I need to hear,
To all that crap, I'm numb.
You really need to watch your words
And what you have to say.
Today you could be looking at me
And tomorrow will never be the same.
I don't feel like playing games,
Or hearing about poor little you.
This has to do with all of me,
Not something you could do.
Before you sputter the words,
But we just talked yesterday.
Maybe it was something you said,
Or something you didn't say.
When you have a friend
On the verge of suicide,
Use caution as you speak,
But make sure you never lie.
We might have a mental illness,
But we aren't stupid in any way.
We know when a friend is lying
Just to brighten up our day.
