If This is Goodbye

These are the lyrics to one of my best friends songs, and they are so powerful. This was my friends suicide letter in the form of a song. He is ok now, but these lyrics need to be read.

I'm feeling like a fire in the rain

fighting the world to just remain

and I'm tired 

it's not like I didn't try...

I'm feeling like a shadow in the night

blending in, 

and out of sight,

and I'm tired, 

tired, 

tired...

But I'm not gonna cry...

If this is goodbye,

please know that I'm fine

Just bitter from time,

cause my choices aren't mine

If this is goodbye,

please know I'm alright

And I can't wait for life,

on the other side

the other side,

the other side.

I'm feeling like a cancer

on your skin

nobody wants to let me in

and I'm tired

but it's likely for the best.

I'm feeling like a day

that's far too long

everything about me

just feels wrong

and I'm tired

but I've found a way to rest.

 If this is goodbye,

please know that I'm fine

Just bitter from time,

cause my choices aren't mine

If this is goodbye,

please know I'm alright

And I can't wait for life,

on the other side

the other side,

the other side.

"please know that I'm fine
Just bitter from time,

If this is goodbye,
please know I'm alright
And I can't wait for life,
on the other side"

Lovely, & it actually touched me. I'm no poet but I found this a pleasure to read. I like it & can imagine it would make a great song :)

I don't have much to say, as I can hardly produce a thought. This sounds like every thought I have throughout the day rolled into one. A powerful, amazing, leave-you-speechless work.
