Condemned to the bedside, unable to move

They wait for me to waste away, a burden they can’t remove

Drugs dull my wishes; surrogates fill my veins

But I hear their muttered words; I sense their disdain

Watched with a careful eye

On this bed I now lie

Silenced I cannot cry

I have been sentenced to die

Organs slowly failing, I’m wasting away

The drugging increases, growing greater each day

Mind growing numb, as the memories fade

Glimpses of my former life, with death I’ll be repaid

Watched with a careful eye

On this bed I now lie

Silenced I cannot cry

I have been sentenced to die

Cannot move unaided, I don’t want to breathe

Beg for the end to come, the end of pain a reprieve

Forced to keep living, while I wish it to end

Be rid of this mortal flesh, to my sentence I must now attend

Silenced I cannot cry

I have been sentenced to die
