I didn't think much  
could happen 
in so little time 
 
Two of my cousins  
tried to commit  
suicide 
 
One other cousin  
ran away for a  
day 
 
Another ran away  
for two 
 
My aunt  
 
My mother 
 
My grandmother  
 
Have gone to the hospital  
thinking they were having  
heart attacks 
 
My other aunt  
lost her job 
 
My last aunt found out 
that her husband was  
cheating one her 
 
Yes her van broke  
down 
 
One of my cousins  
that tied to commit  
suicide was her  
daughter 
 
Family business  
was so sold 
 
I lost my job 
 
Mom left her  
codependant  
husband 
 
Then she went back 
 
 
Im now failing all  
my classes 
 
I attempted suicide  
once 
 
Mom walked in  
didn't even  
notice 
 
She see the noose  
hanging behind me 
 
Whatever was left  
inside of me died 
 
I now know so much  
can happen in  
so little time
