I’m tired.
\nTruthfully. Sincerely.
\nI’ve had enough. <\/p>\n
There should be a place you can go
\nlike a massage parlor
\nwhere you enter, relax
\nand then don’t come out
\n(of course, you pay upfront).
\nClean, tidy, that’s all she wrote.<\/p>\n
I’m not asking for much.
\nMaybe some nice music,
\na glass of wine, a hand to hold
\nthen it’s over
\nyou’re outta here. <\/p>\n
There’s too many of us here anyway.
\nWhy does it have to be so difficult
\nto exit stage left, do the sayonara?<\/p>\n
I don’t want to run in front of a bus
\njump off a bridge or hang alone from a door frame.
\nI just want to get it done
\nsanely, safely
\nlike how you shut off the lights
\ngracefully, contentedly
\nafter a full day of sun at the beach. <\/p>\n
We’re all gonna die
\nso once you’ve put in a good number of years
\nyou should be allowed
\na coward’s way out.
\nYou’ve earned it.
\nDontcha think?<\/p>\n
Can someone tell me
\nwhere my off button is? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
