Enough

I find it hard to accept your belief

That I, in the midst of grief

Should fight to trudge on

When quality of life is gone

Length of life may satisfy you

But for me this is not true

 I see your point of view

But of mine you haven’t a clue

Further disability

Does not entice me

Why do you care

Whether I am here or there?

Relief from chronic illness and pain

Are the goals I maintain

Why should I continue on

When enjoyment of life is gone?

I’ve fought the good fight

With all of my might

At some point I must cease

And medical treatment release

I plan my life with dignity

In the end you will see

That with bated breath

I will accept death

It is an alternative

In which I believe

Accepting no immunity

And with impunity
