when the safest place to stand is behind the shower curtain
you know your life has taken a turn for the worst
when the drops from the shower head feel like poison
and your tears drip of blood
the pressing question each day is if you are strong enough
strong enough to tear back the curtain and face the world
because each day is bringing you one step closer
one step closer to your ultimate demise
wear a smile for another day
who will see through you if you cant see through yourself
how is anyone to know what is going on
when you look in the mirror you dont even know who it is
who it is staring back at you with those mundane eyes
its about time to lay this story to rest
lets close the book and leave the last chapter left untold
who really wants to read the life of someone
someone who was as unknown as you
all you ever did was care about everyone and anything which came your way
you were the one who always reached out and offered a helping hand
but no one gives a damn when the roles are reversed
eat the bullet, take the blade, tie the noose and let it all fade
this heart beats in breakdowns and its time to let it stop
take the easy way out, not like anyone will stop you anyhow
let them redicule you for the decision you have made
just like every other day you had lived
let them spit upon your grave and mock what it was you brought to this world
never understanding what you brought was happiness to everyone
everyone except yourself but they never gave a fuck anyway
and as the candle burns at both ends few mourn your loss
within months you will be forgotten
just a name left written upon the stone amongst the fields of flowers
come by to visit once per year with tears upon their faces
remarkably fewer return each time the day arrives
but you always knew no one ever gave a damn about someone
someone as insignifigant as you
