Sometimes want to die

And leave this world

But fear of death

And suffocating breath

A tightening noose

Around my neck

Makes me think

Twice again

But life being same

Of suffocating pain

I hang the noose

Around my neck

And casually wait

Watering the plant

Dry and wilting

Of my life

And wait for it

To grow tall
