When I Get To Heaven

The blow to my neck, was too much.
I fall down in pain, but no one knows,
That I intentionally set up my own death.

I sat there hanging, my neck broken in two,
My true dream had been reached,
At the moment when I heard my neck snap, all the way through.

I chose for this to happen, my life was just too much.
The lies, the hate, the killing!
I knew i couldn't take it anymore, I had to save myself,
Before I reached his evil touch.

He reached for me, and I ran away,
I pleaded for him, but I knew I couldn't take the pain.
So I put myself through death,
To take away his gain.

The devil has many tricks, he almost pulled me in,
But God was much to smart for him,
For before I was to die,
God invited me onto his table of forgiveness, and took me into heaven.
