I almost died tonight,
Remembering all my pain and fears.
That’s when I decided to sit and write,
With a panicky feeling sitting in my soul.
I almost died tonight,
Why is this so hard to understand?
I tried not to with all my might,
Looked at my knives wondering which will be the final blade.
I almost died tonight,
Drowning in a tub of hot water,
With all else out of sight,
Fear, pain, loneliness and a hurtful past will finally be free from within me.
I almost died tonight,
Looking at these pills,
Where is my light?
You know, the one at the end of this tunnel called life.
I almost died tonight,
Not like anyone would notice.
My soul is tired of this fight,
Let it be at rest it asks.
I almost died tonight,
I don’t want to give in.
Gone in the middle of the night,
The only one missing me would be Thomas.
I almost died tonight,
What a shame,
What a waste of life they’d say,
But that’s on me……this can’t be right.
I almost died tonight……
but I didn’t,
I have my son, and that's reason enough to stick around,
because he needs me, even if no one else does.
I almost died tonight
