I can't help but feel
That this'll end it all
I'm scared as I walk down these halls
My whole body shakes
My insides quake
And a storms rebelling in me
I choke back tears
I don't want to know what
He'll say
I don't want my mother to cry
For Jesus sake I don't want to die!
But even now my arms my legs
Everything burns
I
Can feel it crawl it's way
Through my body
I
Can feel it eat me away
I only know that
When I raised my head from that pillow
And glanced down on my body
I was horrifyed
Red swirling patches
Ate up my body
Down my stomach
Down my legs
Along my Back ...
On my face
Cruel reality
Setting in
Was this punishment
For all my sins
Please I'm sorry
But to my mother
I'm last of kin
