I don't need a reason to live


I'm alive

and all the shit

that goes with it


is enough for me

to want to take that life

except there's no death


(except the final one

when time's up and those

who stayed selfish


go to perdition

and are wiped out as if

they'd never existed)


and still a life beckons....
