Finally Free
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.
