Here's to Me

a suicidal song

 

Here's to the boys I never kissed

To all my exes I never missed

Here's to my friends on the internet

To my own darling whom I never met

Here's to the gown I'll never wear

To all the children I will never bear

Here's to my mother and her pity shares

To my old dad who never really cares

 

Here's my shot at life

Box of pills and a kitchen knife

Here's to the girl that was never me

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

Here's my shot at life

A stolen gun and a kitchen knife

Here's to the heaven I will never see

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

 

Here's to the tears I haven't shed

To all my thoughts I have left unsaid

Here's to the joy I never knew

To all the promises I'll never do

Here's to the candles I'll never blow

To hopeful dawn that will never show

Here's to the faith I now forsake

To the fruits of this one mistake

 

Here's my shot at life

Box of pills and a kitchen knife

Here's to the girl that was never me

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

Here's my shot at life

A stolen gun and a kitchen knife

Here's to the heaven I will never see

Oh, here's to me. Cheers to me!

Avril Lavigne will be perfect for this song. :)

Sometimes the best poetry can spring from the darkest places !

Powerful & disturbingly evocative, but all the more brilliant for it !

Damn this is terrific. Sums up all the horrible things that one can find in his/her life. A piece I really enjoyed. Here's to you never quitting on poetry. :)
