Don't Do It

I know what you have planned

What you want to do

Fires of fate have been fanned

Will it even out all debts dues

Always wearing a smiling mask

To hide your tear soaked face

Is life such an impossible task?

Feeling trapped in a negative space?

I have felt that way before

I wear all the scars

I couldn't take it anymore

I wanted to be free amongst the stars

I thought while alive no one saw me

So if gone I would never be missed

I was blinded by depression, I didn't see

Eyes are now clear, gone is the mist

I went through it and survived

So can you, just trust

Through my troubles, my purpose revived

So stand tall when in your face the hate is thrust

I beg you, don't do it

You are unique and perfect as you are

Remember, into society you don't need to fit

There are others like you, reach out and grab a shooting star.
