I want everyone to know I have survived

despite thier best efforts I am alive

they thought that I would go away

but I am going to stay

they don't know how I made it this long

long ago they stoped playing my song

and to this day I'm on the run

they don't know how to stop this one

and I will decide when I am done

only I will decide the outcome

I don't put stock in any fate

if you wait for the chance it'll be too late

you have to make it on your own

and I have made it this far alone

I watch them out there watching

I hope they're hopeing I fail

they want to see the ending

they want to see me flail

but only I will decide when I am done

only I will decide the outcome

and days or years from now

if and when I can recall

I know I will remember

this was not the worst of it after all

bleak, yes?
