“The night I tried to kill myself Was like a scary dream A knife held to my neck No one heard me scream The cuts over my body As I tried to bleed to death It didn't seem to work As I took a deep breathe Theres not point living life If it's going to hurt with pain Death seems more peaceful Life is like a stain One little cut on my neck Thats all it was going to take I told myself I could do it For all goodness sake A knock on my door Reminded me someone must care I broke out in tears I felt so scared Death can seem peaceful It can seem truley right But for now I chose to live As I hang on really tight”
