Some chances are too big to take,

From ten percent,

To five percent,

Can you really go for five percent?

Love something,

Nurture something,

At five percent,

Want to drink,

Pour the liquid poison down,

Regardless the risk of ten,

Want to smoke,

Inhale death into my body,

Regardless the risk of fifteen,

Want to terminate,

Rip this beautiful thing out,

It is only five percent,

I can't lose another love,

I love something that isn't alive,

That is 5 percent alive,

Yet 95 percent dead,

With nobody to help it grow,

My body can't help it grow,

It tortures it,

With acid burning ulcers,

Hormones telling lies,

Not nutrients to keep me alive,

No nutrient for life,

When it is there a hundred percent,

I terminate,

Exacute,

Press the red button,

Hoping to not fly off into nowhere,

I cherish life,

Birth,

Death,

My body does not agree,

At five percent,

How do I risk my sanity?

At five percent,

How do I tell him?

At five percent,

How can I do anything but say goodbye,

The things I love have to die,

Have to leave,

It is a way of life,

It is the way of death,

I love my body,

I love my him,

I love the five percent...that never had a chance.
