They'll Say...

They'll say
I could have had it all
all the smiles
all the love
all the happiness in the world
all of the little white pills
and therapy visits that I want
whatever it took to keep me sane
whatever I needed to stay alive
they'll say
that I was selfish
that the lies they made
to shield themselves from the pain
were never good enough for me
and they will be right
that's ok
I'll sit in the dark
here with this
gun
and I'll wonder about
the children
the house
the love
the life
I might have had
and I'll think
about the anger
the hurt
the pain
and confusion
I'll cause
and they'll say
I could have had it all
but they know
that the world is barren
with nothing left to have
inconsequential, this life
they'll say I gave up
and they will be right.
