Birds-Eye-View
One does not wish to die,
to feel pain.
He merely wants to leave,
to find the fire exit,
heavens door;
luminescent green
running.
One does not wish them
to feel pain.
She doesn’t want what’s left
trampled in dirt,
worms and soil;
germinating keratin,
head and hands.
One does not wish to hurt
themselves.
They only want to be on the other side;
free, a spectator.
One-sided glass,
beyond the pane of existence.
A shrouded face,
in desolate wasteland
through lucid dreams,
observing from above.
One does not wish to die
for the concept of pain,
I only ever wanted to be
unshackled from burden,
to watch those whom I left behind,
in the plateau of spirits and soul.
