Goodbye

I stand here alone,
The voices screaming,
I hear my future,
I see my life ending.

The rushing noise,
I feel it on my skin,
Pondering your advice,
Do I really want to do this sin.

As my mind struggles,
So does my body,
I know if I go through with it,
This time no one will stop me.

Though while I still think,
My conscience knows,
This is where I have to be,
This is where I was meant to go.

So I lift the cup to my lips,
Feeling the unrealistic pressure,
Once I swallow there's no going back,
Once I swallow there is no cure.

And so I turn to life,
And thank it for this fate,
I'm happy to end this way,
Now all I have to do is wait.

As I sit here,
Trying to twiddle my thumbs,
I realize I'm dying,
I know what's to come.

So I take my last breath,
And remember my life,
I speak my last word,
And whisper "goodbye."
