Through the darkness
among the shadows
past the sickening whispers.
Among the streets
between the dark alleyways
underneath a blanket of shadows.
Past the childrens laughs and cries
without a hint of recognition.
Near his destination
outside of this world
along the gates of Heaven.
Despite his friend's mournful cries
about his chosen path,
For nothing could change his mind
except the one thing that would never happen.
But before his life ended abruptly,
behind he looked and saw.
Towards the streets he saw life
as it was lonely and depressing.
Off the cliff of pain he lept
into a better life full of happiness.
