Now I am certain, tonight is the night

To end my pain and erase my choices 

Too long have I fought this fierce, ugly fight 

Put up with the taunts from countless voices.

 

As I gaze at myself in the mirror

I see a reflection I cannot love

My break quickens as my fate grows nearer 

Doesn't anyone care, way up above?

 

My fingers reach out and grasp the sharp blades

Trembling with the weight of this decision

My heart beats like the sound of ten grenades

To do this right will take great precision.

 

I don't pause to ask myself if I dare

As I chop off twelve inches of my hair.
