I tried to take my life, 
Nobody even cared, 
Said It was for attention, 
But I was only scared, 
 
Swallowed 14 tiny pills, 
Then had a little think, 
Of the people it would hurt, 
I wanted to have a drink, 
 
Then I just wanted to die, 
And that was a true fact, 
All those people ignored me, 
And they said it was an act, 
 
How can I lie about my feelings, 
That is something I will not do, 
I am sorry I am not perfect, 
Sorry I am not like you, 
 
I am grateful I did not die that day, 
For I am worth so much more, 
If you will not help me through it, 
Then I hate you - that is for sure, 
 
I am only a normal person, 
Trapped in a life of pain, 
Maybe if you loved me, 
I would learn to smile again.
