Death Wish

Wake me when the pain is gone
when I cannot feel, or breathe, or stand
when life can be lived from the comfort
and solitude of my mind and...
I am alone

Alone with myself in the confines of this worthless body
that, although it may be appealing to others, is a shell
of which I'd gladly rid myself and continue on as a naked soul
among the dead

The dead don't judge, can't judge
have neither voice nor sight with which to judge
and therefore I am safe to be nude, to be careless
to be free

Freedom, true freedom, I am convinced, comes only in death
so that, dear friends is where I'd like to exist
Uninhibited, unabashed, indisputably and
unmistakeably me
