I wanna take my life

I wanna take my life 

Somehow, I\'m told that it is impossible

For I did not give it to myself

I shall not take it from myself. 

But do they understand

That my mind is upturned

A barren land 

Full of desert thorns. 

I\'m traveling every day 

To a place unknown. 

Thoughts untracked 

Unable to pin on a map 

I pray to whomever can hear me

Would you save me from myself. 

Trapped in a body that does not feel like mine

Does not belong to me 

Trapped in moments of the past 

Reliving in pain that shall not end 

We call that suffering

Suffering is a form of pain. 

Apparently, pain takes time

Time is something I do not have. 

For all I see is an endless dark tunnel 

We call that despair. 

Despair is associated with the downfall of a city. 

My body, the city, my mind the war

That shall bring it down to its knees. 

I wish to take the life of a child. 

Rip it from their mother\'s arms. 

In hopes that all will right itself

And everyone shall continue with their lives. 

I know it will not happen that way. 

And that is bittersweet. 

I wanna take my life 

Somehow, I\'m told that\'s impossible

For I have given my heart to many

I shall not take it from many.
