Only One Way Out

Scars mark my body
A body stained by hate
A bottle of pills under my pillow
A noose in my closet
Nobody cared
Nobody stopped
Only one way out
There can be only one way out
They pointed and laughed
I ran and cried
But I couldn't hide from the harsh words
That had been driven through my soul
One way out
There can only be one way out
A smile is all it takes
To hide a life of fear
A smile is all it takes to save yourself
And to save those like you
One way out
There is only one way out
Live, smile, laugh, and love
Have hope for a better day
Because that day is coming
Don't worry, that day is coming :)

Good poem but I got kinda confused. Was he suicidal at first then had a change of heart? But still it has a lot of emotion. Please read my poems and tell me what you think.
