Down I Count

Down I begin to count,
Countdown to my leave out.

Out of this very life,
Leaving behind my sinful strife.

Maybe I will later see,
My friends and family.

I wish there was another way,
So instead, I could prolong my stay.

But I'm afraid theres not,
At least thats not what I've been taught.

My mind merely sinks,
After every time I think.

Counting down my leave,
Its so hard to believe.

Down I continue to count,
While I so loudly shout.

I will soon be out of here,
Will anyone care? Or shed a tear?

I doubt not, but thats alright.
I'll soon be out of your sight!
