The Fateful Choice

A shadowed path where hope has lost its gleam,

A final choice made in profound despair,

To seek release within a silent dream,

And shed the weight of burdens hard to bear.

The world's bright tapestry begins to fade,

And colors turn to shades of deepest gray,

As weary souls a solace have essayed,

To find an end along a lonely way.

No gentle sleep, but stillness sharp and cold,

A severing of ties, a spirit's flight,

A story tragically left untold,

Extinguished in the lonely, darkest night.

Oh, may compassion light the shadowed mind,

And solace for such wounded hearts we find.

Please note, if you feel suicidal, help is available. You are not alone.
