What I wish for

  is not death.

  It is nothing like suicide,

  but more of no longer

  needing to exist.

  I wish that I could wink out of this life

  with my consciousness drifting high

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  to mingle with the gentle breeze that stirs the tree leaves

  while my husk,

  my body,

  crumbles to the ground,

  left where it fell to be recycled by the earth.

  What I wish for

  is nothingness.

  No need to want,

  no need for desire,

  no need to care,

  no need for dependency,

  no one depending on me

  and me not depending on them.

  What I wish for

  is to be free from this lump of flesh

  and tired bones.

  Free from the bicker of others,

  the cacophony clatter that flesh bags make

  as they whine about the mess of a life they have made.

  I wish for peace,

  I wish for solace,

  I wish for nothing but silence,

  to drift among the cosmos

  as life everlasting

  and not have to come home.

  I wish for me and me alone.
