You breathed life into me,
Yet made it a struggle each day.
I’ll summon my angel of death,
Beg him to take me away.
Take me away from this life,
Away from this pain,
No more to give,
And nothing to gain.
Weep not when my corpse
Is lowered to sit and rot.
Go on with your life,
Show me I’m gone but not forgot.
Cry no tears over my grave
Lay no roses on my stone.
I’m gazing at you from up here,
So know that you’re not alone.

This is about my mom, who has clinical depression and passed it down onto me.
