Adieu

This life is dragging me down,
Into the dark pit of despair,
I used to fight it but now I don't,
I have no reason to care.

I'm hoping that death will claim me,
Take me away from this miserable place,
I'm tired of keeping up appearances,
Holding a mask over my face.

There was a time I once believed,
That I could rise above this pain,
But that hope has long been shattered,
And I won't be disappointed again.

I'll let this cruel world consume me,
As it's tried for so long to do,
So hear these words, this is the end,
I'll bid you all adieu...
