If I would choose to end my time
On this cold endless sea
What manner of escape
Would my courage pick for me
The blade would glide quite easily
O'er soft and eager skin
To open up my flesh and let cold sharp metal in
But the fear of icy steel would never let me start,
So another way must be found,
To still this beating heart
To jump from height?
Another method,
to reach my sweet demise
One fatal step to end the pain
To silence tortured cries
Cowardice wont let me
Say my last goodbyes
I cannot take the final step
No matter how I try
Too much pills then shall I take?
And wait for deaths cool bite
To sink into the blissful sleep
Of everlasting night
But pills they are not sure enough
To end the misery
and I might wake from blissful sleep
Still longing to be free
There are no ways that I can see
That fill me not with fear
And so I cry and moan and curse
The fact that I'm still here.
