Why should I stay?

by Lauren   Feb 2, 2007


I wake up with hope but I don't know what for,
Maybe for happiness, just that nothing more.

My smile's are fake, when I laugh it's a lie,
I try to be happy but all I can do is cry.

I'm only truly happy at the sight of my own blood,
But even then the tears come down in a flood.

I feel as if I have no control,
I feel a part of me missing like I'll never be whole.

I'm forgetting the reasons why I should live,
I'm turning deaf to the excuses you give.

The fighting is getting harder to stand,
I rely on the blood drawn by my own hand.

Maybe my time in this place is done,
Maybe there's nothing left to do but run.

So give me one good reason to stay,
Because if you don't, goodbye is all I can say
