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



Paralysed

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
