Suicide

January 16, 2016
By Anonymous

You had the biggest smile

The brightest laugh

Oh, you seemed so happy

 

But little did we know

You were hiding the sadness

You were hurting on the inside

You felt alone

 

Oh, I wish we knew

How you were feeling

So that you could have gotten help

And would still be here

 

You wanted the pain to go away

So, you took a chance and grabbed a gun

BAM! You are gone

 

I'm still wondering to this day

Why would you do it?

Why would you leave the stage in the middle of a song?

 

(Credits to: Rascal Flats 'Why' for the last verse)
