Say No

Sometimes I marvel

At how close I was pushed

To the edge

And sometimes I wish

I made it all the way

It's not like anything

And I mean anything 

Would be better

If I stayed

The bitter decadence of life

I keep moving

I keep fighting

For my life

I can't say no

The pain is just too much

I want to sleep

And never wake up

i don't want to plod through life

But I can't say no

I won't say no

I need to be strong

I need to hold on

I need to just keep moving along

Say no to temptation

Say no to it all

Say no to the hate

Because I just can't fall

Sometimes I wonder

Just how I got this way

I always wish

These thoughts would go away

It's not like this

Any part of this

Makes me feel better

In  any way shape or form

The irony of it all
