The Choice I Never Had

When I was hurt,

And I bled through my shirt,

I thought to myself,"This can't be me!"

When I had all those thoughts I feel,

And I couldn't tell if they were real,

I stood on the edge in some twisted reality.

Or when my nightmares came to haunt me,

And all my ghosts came to terrorize thee,

I will know that all hope is lost.

When I jumped and found I could fly,

I learned that I was just too scared to try,

Scared that it was far too high.

And when I slit my wrists and slip away,

God will say," Boy, what a day."

For when I'm gone and they rejoice,

Only I will know,

I never had a choice.

Only I will know,

That the Choice was only a lie.

I never really thought about until I said goodbye.
