Dead or alive

Am I dead or am I alive?

I don’t know and it’s no surprise.

Death brings peace life brings pain.

The void before and after is something in between.

I feel nothing but I think I should,

I should be screaming in pain but instead I am just standing.

Standing in the middle of this un-earthly void,

feeling nothing not even the rain.

The rain is pouring down, down on me.

But I hear, see, and feel nothing and this is how it has to be.

Because in this void nothing exists.

No hope and no pain so it’s all amiss

She wants to die. She wants to disappear, to be remembered no more. She wants so terribly to be forgotten, all her mistakes, all her failures, everything. Her name to be wiped free from all record of existence. Because is it really existing when you&rsquo;ve got nothing to show for your life?
