Katelynn

Sitting alone in a crowded room
No other person here
Only voices filling my head
Telling me things that strike fear

telling me its time to end my life
coaxing me to pick up the knife
thrust the blade deep into my skin
telling me it's time to end my life

the knife appears in my hand
into my wrist, i drive the blade
but i stop, on verge of hitting vein
not ready to go, my life is saved.

i thought of my friend
the male version of me
my long lost twin
when i see him, i see me

he wants to be a girl
i want to be a boy
he is Bi, likes both sexes
i am too, likes girl and boy

we've made the same mistakes
we both suffer from depression
we both cry at night, want to end our life
on each other we've made an impression

he saved me from myself
the world and i knife
i saved him from the hate
the voices and a riff'

he kept me from my throne in hell
he kept me alive
even when filled with rage
his voice remains kind

the boy who goes by Katelynn
because of hate, gave up his dream
he wanted to be a computer programmer
now, of alcohol and drugs he is keen

Katelynn saved me from myself
And now i need to save him
i'm not leaving this earth without him
free of hate from his kin
