Is it still a joke?
people joke about suicide
think its just some game
think people cut for attention
starve themselves for fame
little did they know
the girl behind them was bipolar
wondering why they thought it was funny
to feel a complete loner
would they finally get it
when she straved herself to death
or hanging of the ceiling
having taken her last breath
then would they see
would they actually stop to think
that a girl took her life
cos her dad liked to drink
if they saw her body
crumpled, bleeding, lying on the floor
after jumping twenty stories
out her balcony door
if they saw her head blown in
if she took to big a fall
a rope around her neck
her blood on the walls
now she's gone because of you
her spirits in the clouds
her parents utterly confused
is it still a joke now?
