To those who will be left behind,
Where were you when I needed you?!?
Where were you when I needed a hug?!?
Where were you when I was falling apart?!?
Where were you when I needed you to stop me cause I know I don’t have the strength to stop myself?!?
NO WHERE!!
Don’t you dare fucking tell me I am being selfish!
So I made a choice for me... for myself
I will get what I’ve always wanted
I needed a reason, but you couldn’t give me that because you couldn’t be bothered
You had no interest or you just didn’t take me serious
You made no effort
It was too late anyway
Life isn’t for certain people
You weren’t there when I had the blades in my hands
Knowing I would bleed to death
Or even drown myself with pills knowing I would OD
You have no idea how much pain I was in
So I made a choice
So don’t cry for me when I am gone
Where were you??
