Who I am

Is sinful in every way.

Why was I created?

I do not wish to stay.

If I could leave,

This world would be happier.

No one would grieve.

The Lord Himself

And Heaven would cheer,

If I were no longer here.

These lonely nights will take their toll.

These thoughts spiral out of my control.

Trapped in my mind, I become lost.

Will I have enough to pay the cost?

The cost to finally be free

Of these thoughts that strangle me.

Time will soon tell if I have what it takes

To escape this hellish place.
