I know that your problems consume your life

And all I do is cause you strife

I apologize for that one last time

But if only I had received a dime

For each time that lie has been told

I would be rich before I got old

This time though, I am being true

And you’re not responsible for what I do

So don’t feel guilty or at fault

If you start to, please immediately halt

And recall this message I wrote

Placed carefully in my final note

As I remove myself today

I hope that tomorrow you can say

That now it’s possible for you to be free

And my act has reduced your misery

Don’t try to stop me, its too late

I’m not being selfish, this is my fate

Staying here is not helping you at all

So I must take a chance and create my fall

My fight for you happiness- I’ll never quit

For you, Mom, these wrists I now slit

The act has engulfed me

Restraint conforms to misery

Agony and despair as well

Please those who prosper in hell

The slow motion viewing of my life

Entertains Satan and his wife

Today is the opening day

And they have come to see the matinee

Havoc replaces their shared joy

As my life becomes a toy

The strings pull me to cause pain

But my will fights back, it cant be slain

As easily as some may believe

What’s inside, the cannot perceive

My will and standards hold strong

Hang on tight, not too long

Until the escape of this lesson

Satan walks out, and my soul back in

The guilt and sorrow are for now gone

If they return, can I remain strong?

Will I resist their songs again?

Or this once, will I give in?

This one question is the token

To the endless circle that can’t be broken
