Shadows of the Dying

Death is to be avoided

Yet I will die

The time has not come

Where I have peace of mind

 

For too long now

And much longer still

I’m obsessed with death

It destroys my will

 

It’s too hard now

I need isolation

I can never escape

The shadows of the dying

 

So hear me now

In this morbid state

From this moment on

I wish to die

 

As I exist

In my solitude

A wave of sorrow

Crashes down on me

 

Why

I’ve never felt this before

It feels so heavy

 

I know it is selfish

To end my own life

Despite my minds efforts

To make me try

 

So here I am now

In this morbid state

My time is up

Goodbye
