My Only Fear

Shall I concede my hold on life
give in to Death's embrace
Since peace of mind within myself
can never be replaced

All pleasures I once had for life
are deep within the past
The grip on my own sanity
has started fading fast

I feel I'm destined in this life
to suffer through it all
With pain my only company
I know I'll take the fall

I've tried so hard to rise above
the heartache life gives out
But nothing seems to remedy
tortures of my own doubt

My self-control is plummeting
with every day I wake
Soon it will be over when
my life I finally take

For Death to me is heaven
compared to staying here
To wake up one more day on earth
is now my only thing I fear
