There isn’t a way I haven’t died already. What I want never has or will matter. So this unending suffering must be hell. Another cold, slaving automaton, tells me I’m apparently “ still breathing”. So they refuse to bury me… yet. I pin an old folded unpaid bill to my chest it reads “ not, that anyone cares but, I WOULD PREFER TO BE CREMATED !” I don’t eat or drink and when the thick pudding blood sprays out of my parched throat as I try to protest… I don’t want these I. V. in me I can’t pay for it and I don’t want it” It’s nearly so inaudible . again No one cares or listens... What I want or need never has or will...

On the most beautiful planet in the Universe

I'm not sad. I'm beyond that. I don't want or need counselling... your advice or your pity.. also one can only empathize with a thing that they can understand
