I wrote this for a poetry contest a while back, the form is called Kyrielle. If you have some time on your hands it is a fun type to try.

I know that taking my life is a sin,

But you don’t know how much pain I am in;

Death is better than this hell I’ve been through,

God Grant me mercy for what I must do;

My tortured soul robs me of breath,

All I seek is the release of death;

Requesting redemption in the gun I cling to

God Grant me mercy for what I must do;

I’m considering briefly the life I must end,

Nothing is left but the chance to transcend;

And this decaying body that I must pass through,

God Grant me mercy for what I must do;

Raven they named me, but now they are gone,

I’m all alone since they both passed on;

Soon I will see them, it’s long overdue,

God grant me mercy for what I must do;

I beg for forgiveness as I let myself go,

Tears trickle down as I feel my heart slow;

Hopefully now I’ll get to see you,

So God grant me mercy for what I must do.
