BIG Mistake

I thought of my life
As I swallowed a pill
One after another
I thought 50 would do it

Sick as a dog all night
Mum was suspicious
"I'm fine" I kept saying
But I knew I wasn't

I told her what I did
I knew she'd be mad
I wish they'd understand
I was taken to hospital

They said it was a deadly dose
And they don't know
How I didn't past away
I scared mum and dad

I've never seen them
So disappointed in me
But I can't blame them
I just had to cry

Intensive care in Sydney
Was where I was sent
Hourly tests, tubes everywhere
Always being watched

I could tell that I was
Being judged by people
That knew what I did
They didn't know me

I was away from my
Family and my friends
I cried every day
Waiting to go home

It's too risky to let you go
Is what they would say
You might do it again
How do they know

Days staying in a place
I was not familiar with
In a city I don't know
With all these strangers

I changed my ways
And I become a new me
Someone new & improved
I was so proud

They discharged me finally
I was released to my family
The day I was waiting for
I was allowed to go outside

For the first time in a while
I saw the bright sun
The world seemed different
Walls was all I could see before

I wasn't surrounded anymore
I was free from eyes
Eyes watching me 24/7
I wasn't locked away

Please don't make the same
BIG mistake I made
It almost cost me my life
This is a true story

I don't want this to
Happen to anyone else
Just think there is always
Someone who will listen
