The noose tightens around a neck,
When life is the only fate worse than death.
You can finally stop fighting,
Pretending to get past all the lying.

Darkness closes in leaving peace well deserved,
And a happiness kept so reserved.
Sadness is the only thing to be known,
And finally with control over something of your own.

Glad that you'll finally be done,
Living a life you've always known was wrong.
But something goes awry,
And out comes a fearful cry.

The rope snaps and all plans are thwarted,
Left with a second chance that was never wanted.
Try and try again but never will it work,
Forever stuck in this world full of hurt.
