My Last Words

It wasn't a choice
I never searched for
or wanted death
but my thoughts led me to believe
there would be no more pain
with my last breath
because I cried in the shadows
as there was no light in my life
I just lived in the colors of nothing
thinking alone
how to end this fight
tick tock
tick tock
time would never stop
nor would the things that I felt
doubts
pain
sadness
each one urging me to tighten the belt
you see it really wasn't a choice
it was their voice
they explained
how to ease the pain
and I listened
and for the first time I smiled
I saw colors
beautiful colors
and then I closed my eyes

oh mig, this is so sad
It's dark, haunting, beautiful
Love it, my friend

Powerful persuasion ..
for many it feels there is no other choice .. often the despair is so overwhelming they lose the ability to rationalise ... so very sad . Always a fan of your writing mig .. wonderful work
