Just want to say goodbye

I am surrounded by people,

But more alone than ever

I'm smiling and pretending I'm fine

When all I want to do is cry

People are blind to my pain,

because it's easier than caring.

people think they know me

But they don't know me at all

They don't see past the wall I've built

like true friends should.

I'm all alone

slowly drowning,

sinking into eternal darkness

Time has no effect anymore,

the cuts are too deep

I may be alive but I no longer belong to this world

people just stand and watch me drown,

In every tear I've shed.

I'm fading from existence,

just a mere shadow of life

I'm an echo of a distant laughter

I'm living with no soul

I'm alive but with no purpose

my grave is dug,

my end is near

So all I need to do,

Is say goodbye,

and explain why,

now they are done,

It's time to die
