My Last Battle

I'd fight the last battle that I'd ever fight

I said maybe I'll do it maybe tonight

Though I lost this battle, I really did

But no longer will the lies go on in my head

I stood in the chair with the rope around my neck

I said "This is it. There's no going back"

And just as I was about to jump

Someone came up the stairs with a thump

I said to myself "Quick just do it!"

But that person already had one shoe in

I was surprised by who I came to see

The person I saw staring back was me

I made myself trip like it was a mistake

I prayed that would be the last breath I'd take

And the girl who had watched it all go around

Was now the girl trying to cut me down

The one who convinced me I wanted to die

Was now the one preventing me from saying goodbye

She cut me down and that was that

But I can't explain what happened next

I went down stairs to see my mother

But she was crying like no other

I tried to ask her what was wrong

But it seemed she'd been crying all day long

My father walked in with tear filled eyes

He said I'd done said all my goodbyes

My sister walked in crying up a storm

She says I've cleaned out her apartment dorm

My father says three years I've been gone

And only now they are saying so long

I said "No how could this be"

My family says "Rest In Peace" to me

I'd fight the last battle that I'd ever fight

I said maybe I'll do it

I did that night
