IT HAD TO BE

A way of escape
the easy way out
hurt others
by hurting yourself
dont think you can handle it
tried to ask for help
no one heard your pleas
cry in your room
radio up
no one can hear

write a note
tell everyone it had to be
tell him you loved him
though he wont care
tell her youll miss her
she was always there
tell mom you loved her
she was your hero
tell dad youll miss him
it wasnt his fault

write a letter
it had to be
tell of your pain
tell of your suffering
remind them of your pleas
tell them of the hints
remind them it wasnt their fault
it had to be

cry in your room
music turned up
no one can hear
find the razor
right where you left it
continue to cry
everything is fading
hear mom scream
everything is black
everything is silent
remind yourself
it had to be
nothing
