The Last Ten Seconds of Life
Punishment
In silence
Find poise
Do not let yourself fall short
Dig deep in your body and your mind
Everything you've loved is dead
Take each day
One by one
Free from care
Free from pain
All appeal is gone
Free from love
Free from hate
These thoughts are new
Free to grow
Free to learn
Nothing is the same
A mold made
A mind saved
For the first and last time
I needed this kind of punishment
Met it when I was least expecting it
Everywhere I looked I saw myself executed
Unrefuted, I deserved everything I got
I will not waste this second chance
You were born with nothing and you'll die with nothing
