? ? ? Should The Pleading Be Heard? ? ?

Rating: 2.8


No one can define pain
i only wish happiness and sorrows we could strain
The tough times will pass, they say
But what if there's no hope no bright ray.


There's no spring no autumn
All i know is my heart's rotten
Tired of being dependent, being a lump
Surviving on nothing but a pump


i know not how many years have passed
Lying on this bed motionless like a carcass
Speechless, motionless no way can i express
My emotions are all dumped in my head
Believe me it's worse than being dead


i plead 'kill me' they call it a crime
wait everything will heal with time
They say everything can be cured
But i know never can you mend a dead soul
so i'll not be lured


EUTHANASIA they say is what i am asking for
Name it whatever you want i care not
They say its illegal taking a human's life
Are you kidding, i know not what is life


Betrayed by your love, you want to be killed
Failed in life, you want to be killed
Grieved, you want to be killed
Heart-broken, you want to be killed
Now tell me am i asking for a lot
i beg before you to relieve me please, don't let me rot


i beg before you to take my life
i plead before you for a new life
Shouldn't my pleading be heard, am i asking for a lot
Just do me a favour -kill me, don't let me rot.



DEDICATED TO THE ONES WHO ARE ASKING FOR EUTHANASIA BUT ARE BEING DENIED.

heart yet rains but by blood reeling in pain love for life disowns as blood lose red as the day rills over the black night dew of night accords deep by pangs of dark, most poignant write by the imagery of grueling pain persisting upon the illusion of cure, yet love of life eludes through the furrows of sorrow soul when hinges hanging over the cliff of living, wonderful write by imagery of pain, yet all through ingenuity swooning upon the beauty of grace,10+++++, thanks for sharing

The pain of pain can be so painful that it sometimes evaporates the very essence of existance. Compelling creativity in dealing with a complex subject! Qualitative questions my friend.

I am against euthanasia, but the poem is well writen and it is wonderful that you have your own position. 10/10
