Heart Beats

Pumping blood to my cells
producing oxygen so I can breath
Beating a mile a minute
when fear grips me 
Sometimes I think about
the beating and I wonder 
if maybe one day I will 
hear my heart stop 
If I was there to witness 
the very last beat
what would I be thinking
at the exact moment 
I became extinct
Sometimes in my darkest moods
I wish it could happen sooner
