I took too many pills that day, just poured them in my hand
I'm not asking you to care, nor to understand
I did not have a plan, I did not want to die
I just wanted an end that was more than getting by
I started with one pill then two, but then what can I say
I thought if I was going through, I should just go all the way
There was no noble purpose, no tragic reason why
There was no pain or sorrow I could use to justify
Just a step out of life, an escape from reality
A stupid selfish moment that almost ended me
So I say again, there was no reason why
I just wasn't strong enough to resist the urge to die
And now my mind's conflicted, my soul is split in two
I swear I did not want to die, I swear I did too
I refuse to remain this weak, I am strong enough to live
My soul must reunite as one, I have so much more to give
Peace and calm will win, my mind will heal in time
I do not want to die, I want to live and feel alive

I have been writing since I learned to write. I didn't believe anything I wrote was enough to share. However, I think now that even if only one person can hear me and feel they are not alone, that is enough.
