    The smell of Kent
    Failed to bring me to life,
    I felt almost nothing, kept silent like dead.
    The poisoned blade
    Of a sharp kitchen knife
    Was bound to cut me, I dropped it instead.

    It wasn't meant
    To take place then, alas,
    My memories, lurking, denied suicide.
    My guise would fade
    In a half-empty glass
    And you would not even find out I died.

    My swollen pride
    Was revealed in my eyes,
    Yet weakness was hidden behind my eyelids.
    I stayed awake
    To the gloomy sunrise,
    It haunts me at moments when consciousness bleeds.

    My other side
    Is still craving for life;
    These tough contradictions make up my true core.
    Just one mistake
    Fights the urge to survive
    Or live ever after like never before?
