If I die today,
The sun will still rise.
The world will move on,
Not affected by my demise.I'm tired of not feeling good enough.
I'm tired of it all.
Nowadays I consider,
Should I really end it all?I'd just cause heartbreak,
To the ones who cared for me.
Or maybe the fact that I'm not here anymore,
Will just set them free.I have so many memories,
That make me want to stay.
But the more I look back on the past,
The more I realize what made me feel this way.I know I sound like a coward,
I know I sound selfish.
But if you were in my shoes,
I bet this would be your only wish.Fearing yourself is scary,
More than you can visualise.
It kills me more than picturing
All the future goodbyes.Maybe there won't be a future,
Maybe I won't survive to see it.
The present has made me realise,
This world isn't for where I'm fit.I fear every word I say,
I fear every line.
'cause I know if I say something wrong,
I will end up crying.My words have hurt me more,
Than they've ever hurt any other.
I wish there was some pause button,
To stop my thoughts from escalating any further.I've done more bad than I've done good.
But trust me when I say,
I would've changed the past if I could.
And maybe then, I could've stayed.I want to be better,
For others and for me.
But I can't seem to change myself,
Old habits die hard, you see.How is it fair
That people like me are alive,
Yet people who could've changed the world
Have a stop clock on their lives?I feel like I don't deserve to live,
I'm nothing but a waste of space.
My every smile holds back tears,
Can't you see it on my face?To end it all seems so easy,
The easiest way out of here.
A way of putting a stop to,
My each and every fear.And when I finally leave,
I won't ever look back.
I'll be leaving behind this world,
And all the happiness it lacked.A/N—So here's the first poem that I have ever written (minus some feeble attempts from back in 5th grade lol) and ik this is a depressing piece of shit but ehh...
