Beating Chest
Up against my beating chest
i hold a knife
up against my beating chest
in the dead of night
i can't stop the tears that run down my face
i can't stop the fears that won't go away
i fight for the courage to push the blade in
i fight for the courage to make the pain go
i stare straight ahead and close my eyes
i think of a life with only blue skies
i take a deep breath
and i push the blade through
and my once beating chest
beats no more
