Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Price Reduction

Living with myself cost too much.

Addictions turned the price  too high.

From reality I lost touch,

But came time I could not deny

My life was filled with too much pain,

And emptied of all else once good.

Nothing of worth did still remain.

The price I had paid never would

Allow myself to forgive me.

So a decision I did make.

I did turn my price tag to free,

And I did jump into the lake.

As I did breathe in waters deep,

Living with myself did turn cheap.
