Escape, Escape
Through this gate
To the Underworld
I'd rather die
Then lie
In this bed
Cause I feel morbid
And so distorted.
Zeus will smite me.
Remove me from insanity,
take away the profanity,
kill the devil in side of me.
and ash I will be.

The author's comments:
I was in a bad mood when I wrote this and I guess I felt like no one cared so i wrote about a depressing thing. Like being made into ashes. I guess the fact that a god did it makes the death more humiliating too.
