Finally

Shall I concede my hold on life 
give in to Death's embrace
Since peace of mind within myself 
can never be replaced

All pleasures I once had for life 
are deep within the past
The grip on my own sanity 
has started fading fast

I feel I'm destined in this life 
to suffer through it all
With misery my only company 
I know I'll take the fall

I've tried so hard to rise above 
the heartache life gives out
But nothing seems to remedy 
the cause of my own doubt

My self-control is plummeting 
with every day I wake
Soon it will be over when 
my life I finally take

For Death to me is heaven 
compared to staying here
To wake up one more day on earth 
is the only thing I fear
