A Farewell to All

School time laughs from long ago

happy boys and happy girls.

Dance and sing and jump around.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

 

Soon to you, life will come

to knock you on the ground.

Now instead of laughs and games,

you get the tears of pain.

 

Round and round it all goes,

the same thing over again.

Memories of happy days

plague you still today.

 

You fight and struggle to get loose,

you want to be free once more.

But the only reward you get,

is more tears and more pain.

 

Your tired of fighting,

you want to be released.

So you grab the knife and take the pills,

then smile as you slip away.

 

What's waiting on the other side?

Is it better than what you left?

What's your reward for all the pain,

that drowned you in its sea.

 

Did your release after the struggle

give you the joy that you seeked?

Is the light you saw in the end

the truth or a lie?

 

No one knows what waits in death

but we all beg for it to come.

We long to leave the world behind

along with everything it holds.

 

So farewell to childhood fun.

Good-bye to the pain I hold.

I throw away my hell-filled life

and embrace the being called Death.
