Let Go of Life
My head is pounding,
My heart is aching,
Tears are seeping,
My bodies shaking.
The rope is hanging,
The chair is standing,
My feet are set,
The grounds’ expanding.
I close my eyes,
I leash my neck,
I grab the end,
My life’s a wreck.
The room is quiet,
It’s awfully dark,
No lights are shining,
Not one spark.
I feel so lost,
I feel confused,
I feel unloved,
I feel so used.
My stomach has dropped,
My mind is sick,
I feel so dizzy,
This must be quick.
I look on down,
I make my choice,
I slide my feet,
I hear God’s voice.
My life goes black,
My neck has snapped,
My pulse had stopped,
I am no longer trapped.
