I walk to the chamber84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ah1yAZ0a
Where I will die,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuNhlmeDS5
Head held high—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu49HPw25Y
They will not see me cry.
I enter the room with a wicked grin,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR2ykthGHi
Tilt my head,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1aNQxYI40
And greet the chair84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLSNv4lyhs
Like an old, forgotten friend.
They tie me in, wrists bound tight,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdocZkmzB6
Straps crossing ribs,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDCQGLUUu8
Twice around my head—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69hM1La9UH
I chuckle softly,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5fVWzZP6E
When I was born, I had a cradle.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv87eSkvqaU
In death, this will be my bed.
A nod, the curtain lifts—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVyzPQEZh
Their faces stare, hollow and cold,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iSRlfXnxp
The parents of those I stole.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhOG6mMGfy
They will savor this, I am told.
Yet in this crowd, I stand alone,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqZn3p5X0t
Watching the clock hands creep,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixKglN4OMQ
Counting down the moments left84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4yb3tm782
For the governor’s call to ring.
I know they see me as disgrace,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtbuGRBFka
Their hate, their pain,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ96A71uxD
Etched deep upon their face.
I know my book of life84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhtjSDUa4
Holds no more pages.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Rkc3HcuA
I am the final act,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2caKm6E7
Stepping onto fate’s dark stage.
They want to see regret,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCdcz5W9xs
Fear in my eyes,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXzGqGOoSb
To watch me tremble,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURL3zZUSeI
To hear my cries.
But I will give them no more84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3MGzZwYBz
Than what I am.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhkP1D4m1J
I will face the storm and see God84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY88ngfYKGX
As I change from boy to man.
A voice breaks through—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh07GvlQ7X
“Any last words?” they ask.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptnVf8uxNt
I take a breath,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gaK8ZJ19S
A final gift,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrpCDqrMlG
Before my sins84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MLN80vl3J
Meet their task.
"After today, I will not haunt your dreams,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobOvlO4Gb9
But this moment is not yours—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJlddGNmXV
I am sorry… Now you will hear my screams!"
I scream with all my might,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu8gUJebPv
Curses to ghosts,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Q7HTopIJ
As the switch is thrown.84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx1la6D1Bt
Lightning rips through me,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGRRfRZvA9
Tearing away my light.
Since I was a child, I cannot lie,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg1fpUAxcQ
Life was worse than death itself—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfcOU690s1
For my father was my monster,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7jUTFVpNs
And every day, I longed to die.
So I stained my hands84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSH7JiC5Ui
To bury myself deep,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6dhETOyyx
To never be his prisoner,84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AhPUtzvln
To finally sleep.
And now—84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdHAx2duQ
I will never go unheard.
