The Selfish Act
Life was unbearable and she couldn't take it anymore
She was contemplating suicide as she paced the floor
She had an idea, she thought about ending the pain with pills
She poured them in her hand causing some to spill
Her heart was reminding her about her loved ones
She was at a point where she had no where to run
The pain took control of her mind preventing her from thinking
Nothing could stop her soul from sinking
The dark power of death had begun to consume her life
Nothing she could do now could make things right
With tears burning her eyes she finally made up her mind
She felt that her family would forgive her and understand in time
She took a hand full of pills and she swallowed them all
Becoming weak and dizzy she began to fall
Life didn't exit her body because love kept her around
So she took a hit from the pale horse that finally took her down
She was caught up in darkness she had never experienced before
And she became afraid because she realized she wasn't on earth anymore
It was too late she surely couldn't turn back now
"What have I done?" She thought before her light went out
As her soul soared high above the place of her death
She wished she could somehow gather enough breath...
To ask the Creator for forgiveness for her selfish act
But she had gone to far it was too late to turn back
Dedicated in memory of my friend Ruby Norment
