as i hold the knife
i feel the power it holds
the power over life and death
the choice i must make
the choice i have never been able to make
life or death
beginning or end
order or chaos

they are all linked
and as i make my choice,
i make it for you
i choose life
and i put the knife down
and i cry for you
and for myself
and for all mankind
for there are too many choices,
choices shuch as this

none should have to choose
but we must
the knife is the choice
and i refuse it
