Suicide
Low Road Led By Black
Potential vanished within the
dark
Flame extinguished instantly
Lights gone dark-response to
oppression
A wink in the span of time
Uniquely minute in sliver of
existence
Unable to overcome
Forced to take the downward
sloped path
Than attempt the climb to
heights
Where the lights stay on
Where the dark has been
banished
Where the slivers and winks are
eternal
Where the oppression fades
into support
Where cowards on the low path
Envy the reapers of rewards as
they spiral down
Into depths so dark so deep
There is no escape but the cold
kiss of the black
The final weak measure spent
To stave off the pressure
To take the easy way out
To leave all behind in selfish
cowardice
