It's tragic; you tried to cut yourself in half, nBut this isn't magic; in fact it's something much more dark, or more dramaticnSelf harm, that's what they call it.n'Cause it just affects you.nIt's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do,nAnd if one day you can't rein it in, nand of your last breath you are the only witness, nThen so be it, cause it's your last breath, nand it's nobody else's business.nBut, how about your little sister?nI mean, you think your life's been bad,nAnd by no means am I belittling that, ncause I know the troubles you've hadnBut a teen finding out her sister chose death over life,nFinding out instead of turning to her with your problems, You turned to a knifenThat's a whole lot of pain to deal with,n and a whole lot of damagenAnd the only role model she has is little more than words engraved in granite.nBut as you said before, this just affects you.nIt's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.nAnd if one day you can't rein it in, nand of your last breath you are the only witness, nthen so be it, cause it's your last breath,n and it's nobody else's business.nBut then, how about your parents?nGod knows they've done all they can to support.nYeah, you didn't go up in a mansion,nBut they gave you the best life they could afford,nAnd the second that last bit of life tickles out, nand your lungs cease to breath, nThey've fail the most important task that they will ever receive.nThey failed to give their child a life that's worth living,n And that's a failure as long as they live, of themselves, is unforgiving.nBut as you said before, this just affects you.nIt's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.nAnd if one day you can't rein it in, nand of your last breath you are the only witness, nthen so be it, cause it's your last breath,nand it's nobody else's business.nBut, how about your friends? nHow did they fail to see this coming?nI mean, you can only hold so much pain,n and recently it seems like the tap's been running.nFamilies grow distant, but it's meant to be your friends you can rely on.nThey shouldn't be there for just fun and drinks.nThey should be the shoulder to cry on.nThey should be the ones you turn to, nwhen you can't talk to your family.nBut they failed to because although you didn't ask for their support, nit should have been mandatory.nBut as you said before, this just affects you.nIt's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.nAnd if one day you can't rein it in, nand of your last breath you are the only witness, nthen so be it, cause it's your last breath,nand it's nobody else's business.nBut then, what about me?nWhat kind of boyfriend am I?nInstead of living a life I was a big part of,nYou would rather die.nInstead of fighting though together, nand turning things around,nYou decided to grasp the greenernon the other side of the ground.nIf I shared lives there was nothing worth living for as far as you could see.nSo if that's the case for younThen what is there left in this life for me?nBut as you said before, this just affects you.nIt's your life, your body, your sister, your parents, your friends, and your partnernso you can choose what you do.nAnd if one day you can't rein it in, nand of your last breath you are the only witness, nThen fuck everything else cause that's not something you've got to live with.nthe magician's assistantntoo many problems to list them, nnot enough people to listen.nthe magician's assistant....nthe magician's assistant......
