Paul Murray Poet Free verse

Better Off Dead

Better off dead
I don’t want to feel the pain anymore 
Better off dead

I don’t want to feel anymore 
Lay me down, let me rot to the ground 
Let me sleep unaware of anything 
Shoot me up with the drugs to make me sleep a hundred years
Not knowing anyone 
No pain can come to me anymore 
I can’t continue
I can’t continue 
Lay me down and bury me

Better off dead

Paul Murray November 1, 2020 at 10:05 AM What breath of Hope I had is gone. The memories haunt me everyday If I can see what lays ahead Something more wonderful Than perhaps I’m not better off dead
