Release Me

“Just make sure you tell my family it’s okay, I’m sorry. But it’s too late, I’m sorry. So much weighing on me. I don’t wanna live to see another day, I’m sorry. But I can’t stay, I’m sorry. So much weighing on me.”

-Joyner Lucas, I’m sorry

I don’t miss you

To miss you,

I’d need to care

You would’ve needed to

be there

But you weren’t

All you did in life

was quit

A wife and kids,

you abandoned

A whole life you just

left

Why?

The only thing you could

commit to was,

suicide

So many things,

I just don’t know

So many more since you

left no note

Can you hear me?

You can, I hope

So many words

I never spoke

Now I can’t

cause you left

On those words,

I choke

Were we alike?

Did we share

the same mind?

I’ve felt so alone

through my whole life

Again I ask,

why?

Terrified I might

Grow to be like

you.

If so,

I’d probably choose

to end up

six feet deep too.

“Oh, dear Dad. Can you see my now? I am myself–like you somehow. I’ll wait up in the dark, for you to speak to me. I’ll hold the pain. Release me.”

-Pearl Jam, Release Me

Even if you don’t enjoy hip-hop, I still encourage you to watch this video and listen to the lyrics. Very poetic and powerful writing by Joyner Lucas.
