I don’t want to die

Not because I want to live

But because I know

How much easier it would be to follow me

For those I know are already struggling

But some nights I wonder

Would they even notice

If one day I wasn’t there

Would they cry?

Would anything change at all?

But even if I wasn’t there still invisible

I can’t take the chance

That one might follow me

That I would hurt someone

Because I wasn’t strong enough to keep going

So, I don’t want to die

But not because I want to live
