Why can't one of the bugs
That bit my feet
Carry malaria
And end my existence
For me?

Why can't I trade me life
My electric pulse
My energy
With someone else who
Wants it?

Why can't everyone
Ignore me, rather than
Just most people?
Why can't they make it
Easier?

All of those people in accidents.
All of those people who
Didn't have a choice.
I want to trade places.
I wish to.
I needed to get these thoughts down somewhere before they consumed me.
