Today I tried to kill myself
My rifle fully loaded
Off to the shed I slowly went
To end what I call misery

In my mouth the barrel went
And then I pulled the trigger
My head I expected to be blown off
But all I heard was clicking

I tried again the same result
Two, three, four times and more
All along the same effect
Just a sad and lonely clicking

I aimed the rifle in the air
Just carelessly pulled the trigger
A loud cracking made me jump
Now there’s a hole in the ceiling

Quick as a flash back in my mouth
The only sound was clicking
Aim it back into the air
More holes in my ceiling

Back and forth so many times
My head’s still on my shoulders
The only thing that has changed
More damn holes in my ceiling

I don’t understand, I don’t know why
Why can’t I end my existence
Could it be that God does care
And my future could be brighter

Slowly I walk back into the house
To the sound of the phone ringing
On the phone is my wife
Begging for my forgiveness

Tears of joy bathe my face
How close I came to losing all
In the background the Angel smiles
As he slowly wings back to Heaven
