"My Life to End"
The day I put my life to an end--
It was easy to do, I won't pretend.
It was a day when I felt low--
And I had to do what I needed to do.
I took my life at about seven,
Because I wanted to go to heaven.
Who knew that it was a sin?
That I shot myself just to get in...
I wanted to die and I'm not going to lie.
I did it because I knew I wouldn't cry.
I had to put my life to an end--
It wasn't the easiest funeral to attend...
