There's no peace in understanding
It just causes pain
The mind is full to bursting
Little left remains
And when the bottles empty
The night so cold and long
no more walls to hide behind
everything's gone wrong
There's only one more choice to make
the options stark and cold
To rot in jail, or end it all
More knowledge for the soul.
Written after a close friend attempted suicide.
