"If your gonna cheat, at least take the time to do it the right way. Cause by the time your done, you realize it took the same amount of time and effort to cheat, as it would have to do your own assignment." - Me


I close my eyes.

Listen to the sounds of geese high in the sky. 

Feel the long grass touching my bare legs. 

Smell the fresh country air around me. 

 

I bring the knife to my neck,

digging the cold steel into my fleshy, soft skin. 

I flinch as a sharp pain shoots through my body,

but I continue pushing the blade against my throat. 

 

Tears run down my face,

while blood runs down my neck,

staining my white t-shirt.

So much blood.

 

Fear flashes through my brain,

as my final moments play out before me. 

All I can focus on is the geese.

So careless, so free. 

 

When I'm gone,

I will be free,

just like those geese. 

Not a care in the world.

 

I fall to the ground, almost smoothly.

Before my life leaves my body,

I make a wish,

"Please make me a goose,

 

so I can fly away from everything and everyone."

My eyes close, 

and my final breath escapes my mouth. 

I'm finally free.
