Let Me

Let me sit down.
And take a deep breath.
Before I break down in tears.
And think again of death.

Let me close my eyes.
And picture this a dream.
Of being torn inside,
It’s only temporary.

Let me hold my hands.
And squeeze them extra tight.
Before I head to the kitchen.
And grab my sinful knife.

Let me shut my mouth.
And not dare to speak.
Before I go too wild.
And be asked to leave.

Let me hide this frown.
And keep it all within.
Before people notice.
And ask too many questions.

Let me pray to god.
And pray for the best.
Before I walk out on life
And then fail life’s test....
