Sadness cloaks me

Shadowed by despair

Death provokes me

Throat gripped, gasp for air

No escape

Condemned to life

I tempt fate

Tease the knife

I, collapse under the weight

It drags me below

I, am buried by the burden

Earth swallow me whole

Pressure for purpose

The desire a frail wish

Pale horse call my name

Death's kiss grace my lips

Release my tortured soul

I, collapse under the weight

It drags me below

I, am buried by the burden

Earth swallow me whole

No more sadness

No more pain

Time's up

As I breathe my last breath of air the reaper takes my hand

Walk me into eternity of nothingness expanse

I am nothing
