I lay sobbing
My chest is throbbing
The door opens
I turn to see
One of the therapists handing me a note

To whether you knew or not
I'm sorry it came to this
Mother would've been proud of you
I am a monster
A killer
I want to set you free knowing the truth
Death was inevitable
Don't let the darkness infect you"

Tears ran down my face
And ripped up the note
I was finally setting myself free
