All There Is

death
is easier than you think
once the decision is made
no going back
forward to the end
of thought
reason
breathing
i do this for me
selfish
that's all there is
let me go
you know i'll stay
this one day of many
this is all i have right now
go away
no, don't
i just want someone to know
why
why i move
why i live
why i die
no one can tell me
but me
even when you say it
i know you are only you
i am only me
you are alone
as am i

at least i know
life
death
change
a turn of the dial
anger
sadness
joy
peace

it is all an illusion
it is all there is
