Down

Down,

Down,

Down, I go.

There is no light,

There is no hope,

From this Tartarus exploding in my chest,

There is no escape, there is no rest,

I run so fast, in desperation I try,

But there is no release from something inside,

Falling,

Falling,

Falling like in my nightmares.

Except this time it's real,

I feel the weight of despair,

No matter how far you fall you cannot die,

The choice is yours, so nearby,

One pull of a trigger, one slice of a blade,

All your pain will drain away,

Scream,

Cry,

Bleed,

That's all you can do,

Live or die the choice is up to you.

Die.

I want to die.

Die,

Please,

Die. No.
