Deaths Mercy

And as I stand in the bathtub
at 11 years old

The rope in my hand
tied in a knot

and the nail in the wall
Would catch me as I fall

I called my only friend
He didn't seem to mind

I bawled my eyes out
And got angry

I climbed the tub
And reached for the knot

And I jumped
The spike in the wall fell out

That day
Death told me I was too young to die

He let me live
And what an honour

To be blessed
With Deaths Mercy
