To Live Or Not To Live

October 12, 2012

Misery, Torture, and Pain.
Is there nothing more to gain?
My withered and shriveled brain,
Blood and torture do stain.

A bottle full of grain,
to take away the rain.
If I break it with my cane,
Will I ever again be sane?

Death awaits down the lane,
Across the rugged rough terrain.
Yet do I escape this pain,
with a bottle full of grain?

The choice to kill my mane.
With eternal peace to gain,
Could be the reason that's sane,
To ingest the bottle of grain.

This piece is written about a person given 6 months to live. They are given the choice of using assisted suicide(A doctor prescribing an extremity of medicine to kill themselves)to end their life when they wish as painlessly as possible.
