In other words . . .I quit the show.
Emotions move easily
When first they arise,
Become pain when suppressed;
To respond and release
Means less toil later.
I understand, but cannot respond and release. How?
I don't want to hurt people. Sometimes my desperate avoidance of causing pain to others results in ultimately hurting them more.
If I am purposeless . . .let me not get in the way. Let me have no impact. Let me be a sidewalk, a stepping stool, a doorway, a pillow . . .let me ease the way for those whose purpose is still intact.
Unto death. No coffin to serve as a barrier for bugs that might survive on my rotting flesh, or trees that might grow, flowers that might bloom. Bury my naked body in the earth and I invite the worms to feast.
