How sweet it would be,
to slip into Death's cold embrace,
to shed this mortal coil
and be free from my woe and misery.
But I can't go yet.
It is not my time.
I have miles to go before I sleep
and i must run them all.
I have a purpose,
to do something great,
so I can't go-
not yet

I am not suicidal, lets just clear that up. i was inspired to write this after having to spend a long night doing homework. i just adapted it from being awake and sleeping to life and death.
