The People Among Us

sometimes I wonder

what it's like to die

the earth to swallow you whole

then I ponder

if to think these thoughts

is truly, utterly wrong

i know it is

i know it's not right

to simply want to die

to be at peace

no pain or loss

only darkness before the eye

but is it truly wrong

if millions feel the same

only wanting to be at rest

they say it's selfish to leave

but is it not selfish to trap

the people that walk among us

who are already dead?
