I am Surrounded by a Presumption
I am surrounded by a presumption:
Laws, communities, relationships
All built to serve it -
That life must survive, stay the course,
Steady on!
Yet this goes against all I have felt:
In my heart, my mind, my soul;
My decisions, my loves, my religion;
These have been chosen because I do not wish to live.
Is this my nature? My very body?
Or a root – to dig and scrape away until my final hour.
