The Argument Inside

Lu

Hey—

 

Shut the fuck up.

 

Can we just

Talk?

 

I'd rather you not.

To put it bluntly,

I hate talking to you.

 

I know

I know you hate me

But you know

She's broken

Because of us

Her mask…

It gets harder 

And harder 

To keep on

We need to—

 

No.

Just stop.

She's broken

Beyond repair

Let's just give up 

She'd like that idea

But you wouldn't let her

 

We aren't having her

Kill herself!

She's made so many friends

She's gotten a partner…

Don't you see?

She'd be missed

 

For how long?

A day?

Until everyone goes back

To their normal lives?

I think they can handle a funeral 

If they even come to it

 

Don't talk that way

She'll start considering it

If she hasn't already…

 

Oh she has

Plenty of times

But you always stopped her

From doing anymore 

Than think

 

Please work with me

I don't want to fight anymore

We need to save her

Before it's too late…

 

It's already too late

I can hear it in your voice

That you know 

It's too late

To save her from this hell

It's only gonna get worse

From here.

 

I know.

    Euthanasia a touchy subject that is a moral dilemma with good arguments on both sides. A poignant write
