Amanda Eckols - Suicide

People say suicide like its a dirty word
Yet they throw away their lives
then cover it with lies
for they don't have the courage
to look in death's dark face
and the warmth of the light
and the promise in the day
I use to wish to die
To wrap my arms 'round ice
To numb the pain and sacrifice
but hindsight has healed me
and made me think twice
I do not deserve to live
but neithier do I deserve to die
