why do i try

written by: marebear86

i try so hard to hide the scars
that i put there on my arms
just so i don't alarm all those
whom can charm there way
into my life i drop the knife
i pretend life is great . but
its all a lie. so why is it i try?
when all i want to do is die,
to run and hide , to cry.

theres an end thats near
and i do not fear it.
for when i reach the end
i don't have to pretend for
my friends .

but i drop the knife and continue
on with life. so i don't hurt anyone
its true. but so many days and nights
i have no one to turn too.

i know God is always near , that he's always
there , but sometimes i need someone i can
touch someone whom says they love me so much
i just need some one to touch.

so why do i try, instead of just going ahead and dying. its because of those friends whom pried there
ways into my life who made me drop my knife.
