I dropped a penny into a well and wished that I never existed I walked away feeling empty A vague thought forming in the back of my mind: Maybe, because the wish presented a paradox, it could not be fulfilled I toyed with the idea of turning around Of going back and righting the wrong "I wish to be dead! That's not a paradox! Make it happen!" But I lacked the motivation All processes have been overtaken By apathy And for want of feeling, I continued to breathe

I wish I never existed
I dropped a penny into a well and wished that I never existed I walked away feeling empty A vague thought forming in the back of my mind: Maybe, because the wish presented a paradox, it could not be fulfilled I toyed with the idea of turning around Of going back and righting the wrong "I wish to be dead! That's not a paradox! Make it happen!" But I lacked the motivation All processes have been overtaken By apathy And for want of feeling, I continued to breathe
