A Note on Suicide

I didn't want to die you know
Not really.
Oh I know what you think
When you say
Keep all the pills
Hidden away.
But it's not that easy
I wish it was.
I don't want to die you know
Not really.
I just want the pain to stop.
I want to be alone
In my head.
At peace with myself.
I don't want to die you know
Not really.
