I Never Thought "I Can"

Everyone is sad
But I really don't see why
Just because I'm gone
Doesn't mean you need to cry

The world is a better place
With me no longer here
I never really did to much
So wipe away those tears

All I really wanted
Every day since this began
Was for me to overcome it
But I never thought "I can"

It killed me from the inside out
I guess I'm not so strong
I just wanted it to go away
Why was that so wrong?

I know longer saw the need
To try to win this fight
My demons, they were winning
But I don't think that was right

It's too late now
I'm gone forever
I can't come back
Not now, not ever

I know it's not to good
That the war inside me won
But I couldn't control the pain
It weighed me down a ton

I thought maybe I could get help
That's what I really need to do
But as it turns out
No one could help me, not even you

This is sad. But with your almost sing song ryhme I can see this Brilliant with music. I enjoy how you so flawlessly capture your reader never letting go. I also love your imagery and metaphors like always
