I (Me, Myself) Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

I (Me, Myself)

Rating: 5.0

If my time has come
I don't want anyone to beg
Not even you
I don't need that sniveling!

I'm but a wild animal
Exiled even from his own group
Even if bullets pierce my skin
I will still enrage and attack

Wounds and poison I'll take running
Running

Until the pain leaves

And I will care even less
I want to live a thousand more years
