13:13 
Woke up on a winter day. 
Feeling fucking mean, 
decided to stay. 

13:24 
Feeling sick and tired, 
can´t take this any more. 
Presence no longer desired. 

13:43 
The thought keeps hunting me, 
burning desire to break free, 
to get away, to escape, to flee. 

13:51 
I see it so clear 
By now all hope is gone, 
there´s only fear. 

14:02 
Can´t delay this much longer 
It is clear what I have to do. 
The feeling´s getting stronger. 

14:12 
Got out of bed, still no sun. 
Decided to kill myself. 
Picked up a gun. 

14:28 
Felt a sudden urge to live on 
but it was too fucking late. 
Half the head´s fucking gone!
