Suicide

Darkness reaches out his hand
Said to jump and I shall receive 
I hesitated for a moment
He said jump and believe 
He said its easy 
Let the pain go
That when I jump of the chair
My pain no one will know
He said I will fly
Far away from here
That pain will go away 
All this will disappear 

The rope around my neck
The tears down my face
I'm the out cast girl
I don't fit in any place 
So the ropes hooked to the ceiling fan
And the note is in place
Life is moving to fast
I can't keep up the pace
I step into to darkness 
Right off the chair
Now I dangle lifeless
In the air
My note lay in her hands
As my father holds her there
But before I lost my life
They didn't seem to care
My mother drops the note
And my dad curses under his breath
In the note it said
' This is for the best '
