Final Events

Into the depths of the night I command my beast,
High on adrenaline and thirsty for power;
This rush from an escalating fear is my feast,
As I see Death’s mammoth approach: I cringe, I cower.
With no human connection to acknowledge me,
I look at a grievance of a life with disdain,
Decayed homes, torn roads, fractured dreams is all I see,
The very existence of my world causes pain.
I speed ‘till skyline turns to streak, ‘till woods to haze,
For a split second I see a black mass come near –
Next I know a strong grip wrench me out of a maze,
My sight fades as my bleeding eye sheds one last tear.
Suicide, my one way trip to eternal bliss –
Death, only too eager, sets me free with a kiss.
