Cut the Cord

November 3, 2017

Let go they say
Let go and it will all be okay
The pain will go away
Your transgressions will be erased

Let go and do as you must
Take hold of those pills
   or that gun
   or that sweet blade
The circle will end
No need to feel again

There is no soul
No afterlife
The life right now is evil
   EVIL
One action will make it all cease
   STOP
The heart lies
   LIES
Might as well say it
   GOODBYE
