As I Lay Myself to Sleep
by Karla Adela

As I lay myself to sleep
I ask of you not to weep
For I will die peacefully
and that's the reality
I overdosed on sleeping pills
its not your fault I want to kill
I took sixteen pills one by one
swallowed them until I was done
You tried to stop it from happening
but I still went on, it's depressing
so I ask you now to leave me to rest
just think of this, it's for the best
goodbye now, my dear friend
my soul will now slowly descend
the gates of hell will soon open
and my real suffering will begin
