Never Again


In this lonely world I call my life

I take one last look at this beloved knife.

Never again shall I be in pain,

Never again shall my cries be in vain.

For long I have prayed for my suffering to be ended;

For no longer shall I go undefended.

Never again shall I be under anyone’s control;

With this last decision, I shall take my soul.

As I say goodbye to my life and hello to my death,

In this last second, I take my final breath.
