After the Storm
Sitting on the verge of insanity,
unable to show the tiniest bit of humanity.
Having a breakdown in the middle of life,
losing my every will to fight.
With a noose hanging in the back of my brain,
finding the strength to breathe difficult to maintain.
Unable to talk to the ones I love the most,
I am losing all my sense of hope.
A worthless soul in a hollow shell,
just waiting to walk that lonely staircase to hell.
Forsaken by God and all the saints,
a timely death surely awaits.
Hopefully it's fast and not too slow,
when the reaper comes knocking on my door.
If I have to cease to exist,
a hail of bullets is what I wish.
To die like a gangster in his prime,
my heart will stop on a dime.
But when I am gone please don't mourn,
only rejoice the peace after the storm.
