Why Cant I Die Poem by Erica German

i want to be gone
my life has last way to long
i try and try as i might
i try and try all through the night

i pray to lord for the next day not to awake
i pray that i would magicly drown in a lake

i want to slit my wrists
but i cant and i ball my hand into fists
i want to be dead

gone, out of sight.
you may think this as a lie,
but i know its only right

to stop causing others pain
since there wrapped up in there life chain

i want to be dead
if you only knew
its not pretend
if you had any clue
what i go through

i want to die
float up to the sky
and i wont be worried
i will lay on earth burried
