October Rain
Look into my eyes.
Can you see my pain?
Put your arms around me.
Can you feel my shame?
I've been hurt so much.
Why am I still alive?
I can barely cope.
I just want to die.
The pain is overwhelming.
It's too hard to even try.
I always seem so happy.
My whole life is a lie.
It's time for me to go now.
I can no longer take the pain.
I lay dead in the darkened street,
In the cold October Rain.
