I Know It Could Kill Me

I shouldn't bathe

When I feel so low;

The water could kill me,

And I know.

I shouldn't whittle

When I feel so low;

The knife could kill me,

And I know.

I shouldn't drive

When I feel so low;

A wrong turn could kill me,

And I know.

My head shouldn't hurt

When I feel so low;

The painkillers could kill me,

And I know.

I shouldn't sleep

When I feel so low;

My pillow could kill me,

And I know.

I shouldn't light candles

When I feel so low;

The fire could kill me,

And I know.

I shouldn't wander

When I feel so low;

Someone could kill me,

And I know.

I shouldn't talk

When I feel so low;

Words could kill me,

And you don't know.
