I want to go where no one can see me

Deep in the ground where no roots strain their grasp

To a point in the sky where stars dare not climb

Inside the mountains embedded in stone

A place where I can die alone

Into the void of black emptiness

The deserted heart where nothing grows

A cavern in the earth where I can escape the sound of creatures breathing

Bowed and ready to accept my fate

No sights no smells no words no thoughts

No wind no light

But most of all no more pain

No more suffering

No more choking anguish

No more incessant worrying

No more voices clamoring

No more clocks ticking

Nothing

Nothing left to fear

Nothing left to feel

Nothing

No more waking

No desire

No love

Only black emptiness

Only freedom
