I can feel my heart beating

When I check to make sure it's still there

My breath has gone from rapid gasps

To a steady, shallow flow

So this is the end

I'm at my final resting place

The last thing I remember

Is running through a battlefield

Of screaming and crying

Of feeling and killing

Of living and dying

And then falling into this bloody trench

That now looks so much like a crime scene

And a graveyard

They say slow deaths are the worst way to go

But it's not so bad now that I've accepted it

Because this way you have time to remember

The wishes you've made

My wish

Was that I would die alive

And I think it's coming true

Though tortured, I'm sane

Though broken, I'm strong

Though dead, I'm alive

And even though I've killed

I didn't do it because I wanted to

And I've never killed another's hope

The way some warriors do

And if this is the end

Then I welcome it

Because there's a satisfaction in knowing

That the world can't damage me anymore

I am now invincible

And my wish came true

Because I am dying alive
