I Chose No Other Option

I chose no other option,
But to make it all undone.
To give up on my effort,
Which I had put with all my heart.

I chose no other option,
But to shatter my dreams.
Life could become a magical realm,
It could have all felt real.

I chose no other option,
But to let fear win.
To make words powerful enough,
Which eventually made it tough.

I chose no other option,
But to disappoint my mom.
Who gave nothing but love and care,
I still made her life unfair.

I chose no other option,
But to listen to society.
The people who could never encourage,
Were enough to break my courage.

I chose no other option,
But to make my life undesirable.
My heart became weak and unable,
To survive the unknown sufferings of life.

I chose no other option,
But to see life ebbing away.
The flickering lamps of hope,
Just turning off entirely.

I chose no other option,
But to feel the tear drop falling.
As I slowly close my eyes upon the world,
Lifelessly lying.

I chose no other option,
But to make my god cry,
Who gave his entire try,
To give me what he had planned.

I chose no other option,
But to see my God's hopeless face,
Who had chosen for me the highest place
Filled with honour and grace.

I chose no other option,
But to kill myself.
