I admit it, I'm afraid. Darkness is coming, the pain is delayed. I never thought my life would end like this. A handful of pills and cuts on my wrist. So sing me to sleep and ease me into my enternal rest. I know there is nothing, but nothing must be better than being so depressed. A ringing fills my ears and over takes the heart wrenching silence. I admit it, I am afraid. But I still don't wish that I had stayed. And then I awake, moments later in my bed. My breath is heavy and there's a pounding in my head. I dreamt of what I wanted most, freedom. A death without martyrdom. But now I get up and start my day. Yet I know, The nothing would be different if I faded away.

Afraid.
I admit it, I'm afraid. Darkness is coming, the pain is delayed. I never thought my life would end like this. A handful of pills and cuts on my wrist. So sing me to sleep and ease me into my enternal rest. I know there is nothing, but nothing must be better than being so depressed. A ringing fills my ears and over takes the heart wrenching silence.
