FINAL TRIP
Lifeless youth lying in wait
Of dreams long forgotten
And hopes turned to hate.
No one cares, left alone to contemplate
Decisions burning the one within.
Self-imposed detriment to society
Run away out of fear and anxiety.
Only one thought left inside
God I'm useless, let me die.
Heart so cold, feeble and tainted
My life in time completely wasted.
Runaway on a death trip
Hopes and dreams thrown away.
Sitting in the corner shivering and cold
Final trip has taken hold.
Gathered now to say goodbye
To one last wish crushed in the end,
Eternal wound no words could mend.
Only one thought left inside
God I'm useless, let me die.
Heart so cold, feeble and tainted
My life in time completely wasted.
Three men on each side
Take their places, begin their stride.
One hundred feet to final place
Where we look upon forgotten face.
Here for now no reason why
No one stands to say goodbye
To an unmarked grave, no questions why.
