Sense Sonnet - Acher

Wake

I want to leave the here and now,
To bid this life a last farewell.
I feel relieved to know somehow
I can escape my living hell.
It is the darkest time of night.
The water's still and dark and deep.
Serenity dispells my fright.
As I submerge to go to sleep,
The waves of comfort beckon me.
I pull their essence in deep breath,
And feel the numbness set me free,
Into the welcome wash of death.

The doctors take away my dream.
I am alive. I start to scream.
