The only solution
Rests with suicide
Even if I don't want to die
I have to get away
From what I feel inside
I have to get away
From this life

I have to pay the price
Give up everything
What could have been
Never know anything else
But the pain inflicted
I'm standing beside myself
With no where else to go
And nothing to live for

The smile I have lies
To get you off my back
To make you stop questioning
How I could go so far
As to even think this
You wouldn't understand
You haven't been through this
You can only imagine
Like I've been [comments] => 7 [counter] => 265 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Your last line is true no-one knows whats going on inside your head but you.
You created pain so vivid, and sadness so real, but the overall poem, is a harsh reality to what some of us do feel is the only means to an end.
Beautifully written.

Take care always
