SUICIDE

I had walked this path alone,
I felt fear, I felt death.
It was an unyielding tension,
So long the length of the globe.

Many Voices so abound,
Echoes of paths, shadows and light.
The records proffer heart desires,
One of wealth, another of faith.

And so I took a step, I died.
I killed me…self.
Now I am not alone,
Free… a rebirth.
