The doctor gave me the news
So gravely
I was still stunned
When I walked outside
After awakening this morning
From mere minutes of sleep
I found myself still crying
I sit here at my desk
Eyes blurred by my tears
Cascading down my cheeks
They are a constant river
Having not stopped yet
I concentrate on the symptoms
Thinking of the inevitable outcome
If it were simpler
I'd just end it all
Save everyone the pain
Since I should be dead soon anyway
I try to keep some flicker of hope alive
It may be my only chance
