Favorite Quote:
"Knowledge is power." - Sir Francis Bacon


Tiredness settles in,

Forcing my eyelids shut

Just a little longer

Only a little longer


I wait and I wait

For what?

For peace? For silence?


For the end?


I think about my time 

What have I done?

How have I lived?


Have I lived?

I must have

You have to live in order die

Right?


I close my eyes,

With a smile on my face

Breath by breath, I process,

I accept my fate


Commotion fills the room,

Beeping monitors, talking doctors

It’s useless, unnecessary racket

They know what's going to happen


I know what's going to happen

Because it's time

It’s MY time


And NO ONE will take that away from me
