She kneels on the ground on the side of her bed

Finally not hearing screams of pain

Rain patters down on her window

Almost in a quiet lullaby

Blood no longer stained the floor where she knelt

All family members asleep

She whispers two simple words

Holding a more valuable meaning than her life

She opens her eyes as the stars roll on by

She's terrified about her decision

Contemplating her choices

She closes her eyes again

Whispering those two simple words

Slowly going numb, she says:

I'm ready.
