Why Commit Suicide?

Why commit suicide? Don’t tie yourself with a rope With life, there is always hope With life, there is always scope Why commit suicide? For you there is no roller coaster life ride Your heart is filled with an empty hole so wide Don’t put yourself on fire and fry With life, you can still make an effort and try Please leave us not with a permanent goodbye Why commit suicide? Believe me when I say ‘You are not alone’ Many out there are shivering cold to the bone Express your feelings to someone on the phone Full of debt Never properly slept Always sadly wept Wish you had something wonderful You could have treasured and kept Unsucessfuly with exams After hectic midnight crams Who gives a damn! You are not alone! You are not alone! So you feel so empty inside You are full of egoistical pride To admit the thought of a suicide tide Love has never even been on your side Believe me when I say ‘You are not alone’ With life, there is no stone That you cannot eventually overthrow To reclaim your rightful throne So why commit suicide?
