CW // Suicide: This poem includes discussion on suicidal feelings.
I’m a lazy piece of shit
I don’t know why
My motivation often left without reply
Whole room be on fire
My mind says I’m fine
Playing video games till a quarter past five
Straight in the morning would you look at the time
Days being wasted
They lapse they go by
Stuck in this cycle for 3 65
Death on the mind like winter 15
With dreams of a king
But he ain’t have a life
He wanted stages to sing
But what would he write
No one wants to hear about a kid
Stuck in his room
Scared of the lights
Who hasn’t opened his eyes
Who won’t go out to live
But he’s too scared to die
Is this how you get your name shining in lights
Is this how you make sure that your family right
The kids stuck to the screen
Empty mind
Shallow eyes
Staring empty
The only thing on his mind
Is the kills on his team
Playing Call of Duty
And when he gon eat
AYE you listening?
Yeah but can we just watch the clouds fly by?
