A Body Waiting

Yumi Gab

I am grateful for the world I see,  

Glad to have felt a touch of happiness.  

But I do not wish to live on—  

My body aches from passing years,  

Reminding me of who I was, and who I’m losing.

 

Passion and desire—  

They no longer bring peace.  

I’ve known joy, yet peace escapes me.  

And for that, I long for an end,  

For I can bear no more.

 

Let me be still,  

Drifting in frozen water.

 

I do not wish for goodbye—  

But if it comes, may it come gently and soon.

    I hear a tiredness in this poem that also carries sadness with the fatigue. Raw and a bit dark. Well done

    A sense of sadness and fatigue taken its toll in life, although the thought might be dark it a wish for a peaceful ending, I think very relatable to many, nicely expressed and written
