I want to go home

Danielle Cristiano 1988 (Kingston)

Narrative
Days like this I wish to disappear
To be part of something so much more
This life I live is not for me
Most days it's exhausting
I think about death more than I should
The peace of it makes me feel at rest
So much so I've contemplated killing myself
Death does not scare me
Being alive is to overwhelming
When I go please don't grieve me
Most of you already hate me
I just want to be at peace
My home is calling me
