Tortured Soul

Needing nothing but peace

An escape from the demons in my head

A relief from unending grief

A relief from a life filled with dread

Wanting to just disappear and die

My tortured soul laid bare

Leaving no one to wonder why

No need to scream or cry

Finding the ending I saw for a while

No will left to fight

Choosing to go out in this style

No longer caring if it's wrong or right

Just another cautionary tale

A failure by any and all measure

Life's lessons not learned and a test I fail

Life was not something to treasure

Living by my own terms and rule

Dying under the same code

Death is the end and not so cruel

The devil paid back and no longer owed

I embrace hell and all it entails

Living it for the past year and more

Better than walking these lonely trails

Life is almost over just one last chore

Hoping to never come back

Never seeing a soul again

A life permanently off track

Dying without a friend
