  • What lies ahead

    I realised that what I wanted was based on exaggerated hopes 
    So now I exist
    Only because there is still purpose in me being here
    My own purpose has expired
    My desires negated
    My expectations extinguished
    But I have no right to take my life
    Because others have rights over me
    So dutifully, I must submit to their expectations
    But I resolve to subdue my own
    For selfishness is not a right I have earned
    But selflessness is demanded
    So in eager anticipation of death
    I cease to live
