Brain Dead

Brain Dead
Turn me off
Pull the plug
Leave me with some dignity
I am not
What I was
And I don't need the sympathy
Alive inside me
No one can hear me

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot
Paralyzed
In my shell
Enduring every
Endless day
Immobilized
On my back
Aware of everything
They say
Extricate me
Eliminate me
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot
I can't blink my eye or cry
Or even speak
They crowd around my bed
Condescending words are said
Thinking I don't hear or know
What is going on?
Hello
Can't you suckers hear my cries
From inside? I'm still alive
It's my decision to abort
Turn off the goddamn life support
Let me pass
From this world
So I fade away in peace
Comprehending
Unrelenting
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot
Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot
