• They say,
    That a person’s eyes
    Can led you to
    Their soul
    They say,
    That if one doesn’t
    Have a soul
    Then the person
    Doesn’t have a heart

    But what if
    Their souls
    Are empty?
    What if their souls
    Are hidden?
    To keep them protected?

    I say,
    A soul is
    JUST a soul
    I say,
    If you can’t
    See a soul
    Then just
    LEAVE it ALONE

    They say,
    That they are
    Worried
    They say,
    That they care
    That’s what
    They ALL say

    But, I say,
    How do we
    Truly know?
    They say this
    They say that
    But how do
    WE know the truth?

    What if a friend,
    A close friend
    Is on the verge
    Of falling off a cliff?

    What would you do?
    Would you laugh?
    Would you cry?
    Would you beg?
    For them to
    Leave the cliff?
    Alive?
    Without falling?
    Would you lie?
    Or tell the truth?
    What would you DO?

    Would you even care?
    That a friend,
    Is on the verge,
    Of insanity?
    Of death?
    Of suicide?

    Would you brush it off?
    Like it was nothing?
    Like it’s not serious?
    That she’ll JUST
    Grow out of it?
    That it’s just a phase?

    Would you let her fall?
    Would you let her spiral off?
    Into the darkness?
    Would you be glad?
    To have her gone?
    To have your
    Annoying,
    Stupid,
    Little,
    Bitchy a**,
    Suicidal
    Friend gone?

    Would you laugh?
    In joy,
    Or cry in happiness?
    What would you do?

    That’s what I ask,
    Would you EVEN CARE????
    That’s what I ask

    I know what
    THEY would do
    I experienced it
    They would say,
    “You are a danger,
    To others and to yourself”

    But what if you’re not?
    What if these are what you feel?
    What if this is just how you WRITE?

    But they won’t listen
    Not to you,
    They never really do
    They talk like
    They ACTUALLY know ME!
    But they don’t
    They really don’t
    That’s what I say
    To those FOOLS

    I say,
    There’s some that know
    That TRULY KNOW
    I say,
    Thank god,
    I found them

    I say,
    I’ll try for them,
    If not for anyone else
    I’ll try for them,
    To stay a while longer
    In this cruel, CRUEL world
    I’ll try until we drift apart
    Or they leave
    Or if I can’t find those who
    TRULY understand ever again,
    Then, THEN
    I’ll leave
    I’ll leave and never come back
    When that time FINALLY comes
    I’ll take my leave
    From this world

    But for now
    I’ll try
    To fight,
    To remember them
    I’ll try my best

    I ask of you this,
    If I fail,
    If I let death,
    Or the “darkness”,
    Take me earlier than
    I’m supposed to go,
    Forgive me
    That’s ALL I ask,
    Forgive me if
    I FAIL!
