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.
