Pondering Thought

My life is declining fast
I gave up all my control 
This life i live is reckless 
My heart has paid the toll

As I go through this life
Struggling with each day
For me the day is a victory 
When myself I don't slay

I've pondered that thought 
So quite often In my head 
I'm certain of many ways
I might make myself dead

Those thoughts do please me
Believing I'm going to die
In the coffin I lay listening 
To the silence of any cry
