Untitled
i want to leave this world
so you can no longer hurt me
huge mountains of rejection
seem to be surrounding me
i don't want to follow
those who have gone
but there seems no other choice
when i'm straining to go on
i picture happy places
when i'm in my dreams
but to find a happy ending
is impossible to see
it's a single chair
in a cold, white room
no beautiful butterfly
breaking free from the cocoon
