Contemplating Suicide
As I wander down the lonely road of life
I wonder why all I've ever had
Is a truck load of strife
Why is it that I no longer see
In this long dark tunnel
A light head of me
Should I try to save what's left of me
When I know that Satan
Senses an early victory
Who chose this path that I tread
Every fight has been fought and lost
Every word has been said, without avail
It's all over now.
