SUICIDAL
IDEATION
A NIGHTMARE
That Clouded MY MIND
For More Than TEN YEARS

Suicidal Thoughts
Have Flooded My Mind As Of Late




Put A Gun
In My Mouth


Rip My Eyes Out
And Cut Through My Wrists


The World Is Too Beautiful
And I am Too Ugly


I Get These Thoughts
I'm Afraid Of The Knife

A Day Where
I Decided To Live



Without Adversity,
What Would Be The Point?



Iam Alive, It's So Easy
There is no gun to my head

For This Reason
I Want To Live

Happiness Feels Like Heaven
And its memory is reason for hope
