Appropriate Death

When is it appropriate to die?

When
you have completed your life's work?
When
no one touches you anymore because an irreparable scarring disease that grows fungal?
When
every action towards improvement ends in miserable failure?
When
you have isolated yourself to the point that you no longer relate to even your family members?

The body keeps going
Not saying anything in the dark cadaverous reservation of the souls resting abode of its natural inclination
The mind keeps droning

When is it appropriate for suicide?

When
everyone treats you like dirt?
When
you can no longer tolerate the asphalt jungle?
When
there is no one to turn to about your problems except the Asian woman who gives you a pedicure?
When
you have no respect for time anymore and your July is a repetition of November?
