I sit in my room with my hands covering my face
Watching this reflection, this image can’t be me
Too many evenings begging for this life to end
So that I won’t have to face my existence here
It’s all too much for me to even take this in
And as I watch the sun die behind the ocean
I know I won’t care if I never wake again
You’ve said so much without ever moving your lips
I try to hear but it won’t matter anyway
Because by the morning I’ll wont even exist
And you’ll never have to suffer for me again
Because I’m a teenage burnout living to die
Yet another bitter sweet evening lived alone
Television is programming me as I view
Anything I do will lead to my death, why care?
As I tie this rope around my neck I thank TV
For letting this great government influence me
Into hating myself by stimulating fears
Thanks for making me beautifully soporific
You’ve said so much without ever moving your lips
I try to hear but it won’t matter anyway
Because by the morning I’ll wont even exist
And you’ll never have to suffer for me again
Because I’m a teenage burnout living to die
I’m inferior in this Prozac prescribed world
Just another walking, talking body bag
I am on your autopsy table forever
As you rip apart my emotions for all good
You can be a hundred percent sure I’m a freak
This is a short story with a tragic ending
You’ve said so much without ever moving your lips
I try to hear but it won’t matter anyway
Because by the morning I’ll wont even exist
And you’ll never have to suffer for me again
Because I’m a teenage burnout living to die
I wish the end
I wish the end
Close this chapter
End this regret
Pull the trigger
This is the end
Make a wish

Holy Smokes!! That's pretty d*** powerful. Lots of emotion and pain. Is it personal? There's always something to live for. I'm an eternal optimist.

I certainly hope you are not serious in planning as you wrote. Please don't!!!
Get help if you can't find you're way out of this depressive mood......there are those out there that can be of help to you!
Great write........but scary too!
