Good-byeA Poem by Tori JonesSleep deprived and weary-eyed Thoughts of death and suicide Hiding the pain and imperfections Trying to exceed all expectations Cutting and burning away insecurities Saying, "I'm fine," and ignoring my feelings Every day the same as before Living and breathing becoming a chore Waiting for something I know will never come No reason not to pull the trigger of the gun Waiting and waiting for something more Running further and further, knocking at death's door How much longer will I be here they ask me I say, "I don't know." But I do, I'm just waiting Five, four, three, two, one come and find me Or don't because if you do I won't be breathing Good bye world You're all better off without me
