Ending

I feel the end coming its approaching near I open my eyes their’s is full of fear endless I love you’s cards are piling up. People, in and out Handed a pill and a cup. I never wanted this this isn’t what I deserve I’m stuck and left to wonder will my legacy preserve? tubes and machinery immobilise my frail body bones protrude a shell of the man I was when will this pain finally conclude? So long have I been trapped in this room stuck in a state of constant despair I want nothing more than to step outside have I forgotten the smell of fresh air? So much I have yet to do the list painfully long so many places left to visit I still have to right so many wrongs As my breath becomes hitched My body is covered in a cold sweat surrounded by my family, to whom I am forever in debt I feel my end coming its approaching near doctors look down on me I am no longer full of fear Acceptance hits like a wave Its knocking at my door now I truly know that I don't want to be afraid anymore Goodbye mother, Take good care of my son Goodbye sister stay by my side until I am done. I know my end is coming It is now here please don’t be sad please don’t weep my dear for we shall meet again for now, please don’t cry put your hand in mine Goodbye.
