Finally I had found my purpose, for the first time in my life I knew what I wanted: I wanted to be dead, and I had got my wish. This is the night I died. My veins rushing crystals, my dream of release so close yet I still feel the numb ache of life stalking me. I was nearly free- free from you, from my sins. Given over like a gift to the devil. I never thought it would end like this but it feels weirdly right. Almost like I was meant to die. Like my only purpose is to die. My life was built up so I can give others relief. I'm dying. Death is inevitable. I was hurt but many will be glad, I can't hurt them now. ‘My last wish’. Words everyone has heard at least once whether it's in a game of what would you do or talking about your grandmother's dying wish but one way or another everyone has heard these 3 simple words. But until you're dying you don't know what that would actually be. Mine? I wish for my story to be heard and for my soul to be encapsulated in poems.
