Throw a rock into the pond
Odd, it didn’t skip
Kind of like the fifty others
That I just let slip

The ripples they make are perfect to describe
The rocky turns that have happened in this rapid ride
The way my heart sunk to the bottom of the deep water
As you included it in your vicious manslaughter

Crisp wind chills my emotions
As the moon shines on my facial features
Viewing all of the cheery people
As I sit on the highest bleacher

I guess my wings have yet to grow
I’m still living in a cacoon
But when I soar I will dance
To a much more happy tune

I’m like the mysterious light from stars
Still traveling to your eyes
We still see the light coming from it
When the star has already died

I hesitate to look into the water
Afraid of what my reflection holds
To look right back into my eyes
To see my soul, so dark, so cold

My mind, so black, like the night
Without the light from the moon
Just waiting for the rest of me to die
The day shall come too soon

Fireflies in the bushes, the fog along the pond
Gives me the best idea, one that just dawned
I ran back home and grabbed a shovel, hurrying as I went
Brought it back and grasped it tightly, taking one long breath

Stuck it in the dirt and pulled it out
Gaining speed as I dug
Right beside the pond, I shovelled
Until I hit the mud

I waited as the water rushed in
Jumping into the hole, so deep
Closes my eyes and let it fill
Until it reached six feet

Goodbye harsh world
Goodbye is what I say
I drowned in the my own tears
I drowned in my own grave
