One Last Breath
 
 Running blindly through this maze,
 Darkness falling over my eyes-
 Creating this deathly haze.
 
 Wishing to finally mend,
 Prayers are shouted into the wind,
 Let me meet my end!
 
 Searching for this serene peace,
 Wanting, searching, losing-
 I just want a release.
 
 Adrift and lost at sea,
 This is a deep ocean of troubled times;
 Land I do not see.
 
 I don’t know what I hope to find,
 Some answers to the endless questions
 That rage through my mind.
 
 But all I find is anger and sadness,
 With a hint of a certain pain-
 All pushing me toward this madness.
 
 Running to my death,
 I stop and think:
 This is my one last breath.
 
 Life flashes before my eyes,
 The good, the bad, the unmentionable;
 It’s enough to make me want to cry.
 
 But brave I remain,
 Up until this last breath
 I hide my pain.
