Walking down the street toward my so called home I sink into the oblivion my mind yearns for As I fall to my knees I see my final destination and I'm frightened no more I know I'm not alone not only do I long to die wanting to be free of this life No, not only I I remained in the illusion of acceptance as long as I could but reality finally dawned on me Hunger and frailty finally made me see No life at all is a life in poverty I'm lying on the floor feeble and lifeless Flashing before my eyes is the life I would miss waking with the burden of endless fears floating in the flood of my own tears Followed by deafening silence I listen to its craving plea It said: part with your sorrow I remember vividly All joy and happiness slowly diminishing and disappearing behind the cruel veil of time somewhere within my soul there is awareness That salvation isn't yet mine I feel people hovering over me I feel them fighting for my life I don't want to fight anymore! I'm willingly letting go of all my strife Unfortunately, I feel myself gaining consciousness after the effort doctors made Now I can sincerely say I am afraid « return. |
