Earth's Mirth

If I were absent from this EARTH,
I wouldn't experience such mirth 
If I were nonexistent like an aborted infant,
I wouldn't be a treat...I would be insignificant 
My family would've forgotten me in an instant
If I gave in to SUICIDE,
I wouldn't come along with life's ride...
I'd be denied 

If I were to go back in time...
REWIND...
until the night of my birth,
I would have committed a malicious crime

In a flick of a dime,
Earth's mirth would feel extremely sublime 
If I left my family and friends behind 
FOR THE SAKE OF MY RELIEF...
I'd create strife and endless...
ENDLESS grief

If I could repair my past mistakes,
Oh, I would take advantage of that opportunity 
AND HIT THE BRAKES

In a bewildering moment of 
Being cornered by 
toxic, 
sinister, 
red 
snakes

Earth's mirth suddenly....
Abandons you...
Paranoia and anxiety transforming
Fates into abominable fates
