Let me go

 I’ve never understood
The human need to survive
To survive regardless
To hang on to life
Beyond what’s reasonable
Because we have the technology
To prolong the unnecessary
We legalise human torture
And make suicide criminal
Where’s the sense in that
People put through
Unnecessary pain and suffering
As doctors and relatives
Blackmail you into survival
At any and all costs
There are times when I get tired
Tired of the needles
Tired of the drugs
Tired of the pain
Tired of the pity
Tired of prayers that go nowhere
To a god that allows so much pain
A god who revels in human torture
Who so loved the world that he forced
His only begotten son to commit suicide
Then made suicide a sin
How fucked up is that
How fucked up is life
How fucked up am I
When it comes I beseech you
Refuse all but pain medication
Refuse surgical intervention


Turn off the machine
Let me go gracefully
Into the abyss
It is where I want to go
It is where I will be
Finally at peace
If you let me go
